ABN AMRO Number Sequence Preparation Guide
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
Prepare with the right focus
This guide helps you prepare for the number sequence part of ABN AMRO assessment practice with a calm, efficient approach. It is designed for candidates who want to focus first on the most relevant skills and avoid wasting time on unnecessary detail.
ABN AMRO may use Cubiks (Talogy) or Harver (NOA), and the invitation email usually tells you which assessment parts matter for your application. That means preparation should start with the basics of pattern recognition, then move toward faster, more accurate solving under time pressure.

What to pay attention to first
Number sequences are built around a rule that repeats or changes in a structured way. The main task is to identify that rule quickly, using simple checks before moving to more complex combinations.
- Look for a straightforward operation first, such as addition or subtraction.
- Check whether the pattern alternates or combines more than one rule.
- Use the final steps of the sequence to confirm the logic before selecting an answer.
A steady process matters more than speed at the beginning. Once you can spot the structure with less effort, you can work more quickly without losing accuracy.
How this fits ABN AMRO assessment preparation
The number sequence module is part of a broader preparation set that may also include verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, figure sequences, analogies, and related cognitive tasks. For ABN AMRO applicants, this makes it useful as one part of a wider assessment routine rather than a standalone exercise.
The same type of practice can support preparation for Cubiks Logiks Advanced and Cubiks Logiks General (Intermediate), as well as Harver’s NOA Cognitive Ability Assessment. That makes it a practical choice when you want to cover the core reasoning skills that are commonly assessed.
A simple preparation routine
Start with a few untimed questions to get comfortable with the structure of the sequences. Then move to timed practice so you can learn how long it takes to spot a rule and confirm the next number.
If you receive the assessment invitation by email, use it to check which components are included. This helps you decide how much time to spend on number sequences versus the other parts of the package.
Review mistakes carefully. The goal is not only to find the correct answer, but also to understand which pattern was easy to miss so you can make better decisions in the next round.
