Cubiks (Talogy) Figure Sets Practice Tips
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
Prepare with clear expectations
Cubiks figure sets assess abstract reasoning through visual patterns and rules. In practice, you are usually asked to identify how a sequence changes and choose the figure that follows logically.
This type of task can appear in Cubiks assessments used for selection, including tests associated with Talogy. The main challenge is often not the rule itself, but noticing it quickly enough when the section is timed.
A good preparation plan focuses on pattern recognition, steady pacing, and reducing avoidable errors. Repeated exposure to the format helps you work more calmly when the assessment begins.

How to approach figure sequences
Start by comparing each figure in order instead of looking only at the final options. Changes often involve rotation, position, number of elements, shading, size, or direction, and more than one feature may change at once.
When a pattern feels unclear, check each element one by one. A simple method is to track what stays the same, what changes step by step, and whether the change repeats on a cycle.
Work from the sequence first, then confirm the answer against the options. This reduces the risk of being distracted by a visually similar choice that does not follow the same rule.
Practical preparation habits
- Practise under time limits so the pace feels familiar.
- Review mistakes to see which feature change you missed.
- Train on mixed sequences to avoid depending on one rule type.
- Keep your attention on small details such as rotation and position.
Short, regular practice is often more useful than long sessions. The goal is to build accuracy first, then improve speed without losing control of the details.
Build confidence before test day
Use your practice sessions to mirror the real assessment as closely as possible. A consistent routine makes the task feel more predictable and can help you stay focused under pressure.
If you are preparing for Cubiks Logiks Advanced or Cubiks Logiks General Intermediate, figure sets are one of the core abstract reasoning components worth revisiting early. That gives you time to improve before moving on to broader timed practice.
The strongest results usually come from clear analysis and disciplined timing. With enough practice, the format becomes easier to read, and you can spend more of your attention on the rule rather than on the clock.
