Jumping in Natural Order

The most simple kind of questions

In these types of questions, the letters appear in the natural order but some letters are skipped in between. An example of this question type will be "ACE". Here, 1 letter is skipped in between (B between A & C and D between C & E is skipped). Though these questions appear fairly simple, but at times the number of letters skipped can have their own series. How about this question: Pick the odd one out? CFJ , KNS, SUZ Ok, this might appear difficult at first, but its simple if you have the alphabet sequence written down. When solving these questions, you just need to write down the difference between each pair of alphabets and you will be able to solve it. For instance, in this question, 2 alphabets are skipped between C and F whereas 4 alphabets are skipped between F and J. KNS follows a similar rule. But in SUZ, only one alphabet is skipped between S and U making it the odd one out. Simple!

Jumping in the reverse order


Jumping backwards
These types of questions are similar to the first type, only that the letters are skipped in the reverse order, making the question LOOK difficult. The trick to solving this question, reverse the order so that it appears simple. Sometimes some common letters are placed and the above mentioned pattern is seen around those. e.g. JOPK, BOPC, QOPR

Repetitions
In the given sequence of letters, some letters repeat themselves and that is a distinguishing pattern.

Sample Question: SSTU, MMNO, AABC, KLMN Odd one out is KLMN Here for all others the first two letters are repeating and the following is a sequence of consecutive letters.

Miscellaneous
Other types of questions
Apart from the ones mentioned above, the following types of questions are also asked: Vowels and Consonants - Letter series can be made of vowels and consonants arranged in a certain pattern. e.g. first letter is a vowel followed by three consecutive letters, or a group contains one consonant and two repeating vowels. Letter Patterns - Letters can be defined by their pattern. e.g. Between CS, EV, OU only EV is formed by straight lines. Between TVL, FEH, KCW only KCW has one letter that is curved These questions can be a little tricky. But there is one thumb rule you need to follow. First try identifying if the question is one of the first two types (jumping in natural or reverse order), because these question types are the most popular. If you are not able to identify any sequence, then try looking for letter patterns or vowel-consonants.
