Cubiks (Talogy) Practice Preparation Guide
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
The Cubiks test in short
Cubiks is now part of Talogy. Its aptitude test Logiks General has a verbal, a numerical and an abstract section. It comes in two levels: Intermediate has 50 questions in 12 minutes, Advanced has 30 questions in 20 minutes.
That is very little time per question, so preparing is mostly about knowing the question types before you start. TestPrep is not affiliated with Cubiks or Talogy.

This gives you an immediate feel for the question style and the value of the practice environment.
Intermediate or Advanced?
- Intermediate: 50 questions in 12 minutes, so about 15 seconds per question.
- Advanced: 30 questions in 20 minutes, so about 40 seconds per question, with harder questions.
Your invitation says which level you get. Cubiks offers official practice tests for both levels on its practice test site.

One example per section
Verbal
All managers in the company have a degree. Some employees with a degree work part-time. Does it follow that some managers work part-time?
Answer: no. The part-time employees with a degree could all be people who are not managers.
Numerical
After a 20% discount a product costs €80. What was the original price?
Answer: €100. €80 is 80% of the original price, and 80 divided by 0.8 is 100.
Abstract
A triangle, a square and a pentagon follow each other. Which shape comes next?
Answer: a hexagon. Each shape has one side more than the one before.
How to prepare for the Cubiks test
- Check your invitation for the level: Intermediate or Advanced.
- Try the official Cubiks practice test for that level, so the format is familiar.
- Practise each section separately until the question types feel routine.
- Then practise against the clock. If you are stuck on a question, pick your best answer and move on.
On the day
- Keep an eye on the timer: at Intermediate level speed matters as much as accuracy.
- For abstract questions, check one rule at a time: count, shape, rotation, shading.
- For numerical questions, estimate first; often one option is clearly closest.
