Study Notes
ASET Exam Preparation
- The ASET exam requires critical thinking, logical problem-solving, and pattern recognition in both quantitative and verbal contexts
- Develop a broad set of skills to excel in different sections
- Strategies and resources are provided to help with preparation
Quantitative Reasoning
- Focuses on numerical problem-solving and applying logic to mathematical concepts
- Practice mental math: Enhance speed and accuracy in calculations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) without a calculator
- Recognize patterns and sequences: Find the next number in a series and identify arithmetic and geometric patterns
- Master basic algebra: Practice solving linear equations, inequalities, and simple algebraic expressions
- Word problems: Practice translating word problems into mathematical equations
- Resources: Khan Academy for free math lessons and practice, Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) for gifted students, Brilliant.org for interactive lessons in mathematics and logic.
Abstract Reasoning
- Involves recognizing patterns, visualizing solutions, and thinking logically without relying on language
- Practice logic puzzles: Solve puzzles involving sequences, patterns, shapes, and spatial relationships
- Visualize shapes and spatial relationships: Improve spatial reasoning through 3D puzzles, Tangrams, Rubik's cube, and similar activities
- Resources: BrainBashers for diverse puzzles, Puzzle Baron for logic grid and pattern recognition puzzles, Lumosity for cognitive training exercises, Brilliant.org courses and challenges
Verbal Reasoning
- Focuses on understanding and reasoning using language
- Develop reading comprehension skills: Read various texts (literature, articles, essays), answer comprehension questions, identify main ideas, supporting details, assumptions, and conclusions.
- Improve vocabulary and analogy skills: Learn new words, understand synonyms and antonyms, and practice solving analogy problems
- Practice logical reasoning with words: Solve problems using syllogisms and critical reasoning questions
- Resources: Vocabulary.com for vocabulary practice, Quizlet for flashcards, ReadTheory adaptive exercises, CommonLit for a large collection of reading passages, Project Gutenberg for classic books, Newsela for current events articles.
Time Management and Practice
- Reasoning tests have time constraints, so practice speed and accuracy under pressure
- Timed practice tests: Simulate real test conditions by taking timed tests
- Review mistakes: Understand the reasons behind errors to enhance reasoning skills
- Resources: Utilize practice test books or websites (ReadTheory, CommonLit, Brilliant.org) for timed quizzes and feedback.
