What to expect from a logical reasoning test at the NHS
What we know about the tests, which format this one can take and how to practise for it.
Does the NHS use logical reasoning tests?
We do not have a list of the tests the NHS sets. A logical test is a common third test, after the numerical and the verbal one. It is made of shapes only, with nothing to read and nothing to calculate.
What the NHS hiring process does have is a stage of online tests: it is stage 3 of 5. The email that invites you to it names each test, so read it before you choose what to practise. All five stages are on our page about the NHS.
For illustration only. We are not affiliated with the NHS, and our practice tests are not its own.
Which logical test format will the NHS use?
This test goes by several names. What one publisher calls logical reasoning, another calls inductive, abstract or diagrammatic, and the questions are much alike. We do not know which publisher the NHS uses, so look for any of those names in your invitation.
Ours do not adapt: every test is a set of questions fixed in advance, which you can take with the timer or without.
SHL Verify Inductive
- Questions
- 18 questions
- Time
- 24 min
Work out the pattern in a set of images and choose the next one. The test adapts to your answers.
Kenexa Logical
- Questions
- 24 questions
- Time
- 20 min
A series of shapes with one missing. SHL has run the Kenexa tests since 2022, under the same name.
Talent Q Elements
- Questions
- 12 questions
- Time
- About 15 min
A time limit on each question, and no way back to it. A right answer brings a harder question.
Cubiks Logiks
- Questions
- 10 questions
- Time
- 4 min
The abstract part of a 12-minute test that also has verbal and numerical parts. Cubiks is now Talogy.
These are the usual formats: an adaptive test may stop before its last question. Your invitation states the time allowed. SHL, Kenexa, Talent Q and Cubiks are trademarks of their owners, who are not connected with this site.
How do you practise for a logical test at the NHS?
Go through the figures one feature at a time: where a shape is, which way it points, how many there are, what it is, how dark it is. Put the rule into words before you look at the answers.
Start with Logical Reasoning Test 1: it is free and needs no account. Then take the logical tests in the package, first without the timer and then with it. When a question stops you, choose your best answer and go on to the next.

Questions about the NHS logical tests
Short answers to what candidates ask most.
The full FAQ covers payments and your account. For anything else, write to support@aptitude-tests.co.uk.
No. Deductive tests are made of words, not shapes: you are given a few statements and asked what has to be true if they are. Our logical package does not cover them.
That depends on the test, and we do not know which one the NHS uses. Talent Q gives each question its own time limit and does not let you return to it. Our practice tests can be taken both ways.
No. We are not connected with the NHS. The questions an employer uses are kept secret, and no practice site has them. Ours are the same kind of question, built on the same kinds of rule.
Yes. Logical Reasoning Test 1 is free: 5 questions in 10 minutes, with the answers explained and a report at the end. It opens without an account.
£9.99 for the logical package: 16 tests, the inductive and diagrammatic ones included, with 3 months unlimited access and no auto-renew. The All-in-One has every package, 59 tests, for £29.99. Every paid plan comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Yes. Every paid plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee. If something is wrong with the platform or the tests, email us within 14 days of buying. If you have started no more than three tests in a package, or four on the All-in-One, we refund what you paid. Other conditions apply.
