Cubiks Logiks Ovning: Talogyns 50-fragestets hastighetstest forklarat
Cubiks Logiks (nu ommarkt Logiks av Talogy) ar det europeiska svaret pa CCAT: 50 fragor, 12 minuter, tre undersektioner (verbal, numerisk, abstrakt) och ingen chans att fullfoera alla. Testet anvands brett av konsult-, revisionsoch bankforetag i Europa och internationellt. Det som gor Logiks annorlunda ar att sektionerna ar stora ojamnformigt (24 verbala, 16 numeriska, 10 abstrakta) och att den numeriska sektionen tillater kalkylator, vilket forandrar de optimala hoppstrategierna radikalt.

PrepClubs erbjuder en Cubiks Logiks-ovningsklunge
Cubiks Logiks (nu Talogy Logiks) anvander verbala, numeriska och abstrakta resonnemangselement med strikt timing. PrepClubs Logiks-klunge innehaller over 400 Logiks-liknande fragor over 7 fulla mock-tester, med per-sektion poangsattning. Nar du ar klar, kom tillbaka och granska strategierna nedan.
Cubiks Logiks General is a 50-question, 12-minute general ability battery published by Talogy (formerly Cubiks, acquired by PSI in 2019). It splits items across verbal (24 questions), numerical (16 questions), and abstract reasoning (10 questions) inside a single 12-minute window. The test is heaviest in European hiring at BP, Shell, Santander, and Aviva. Talogy reports raw score, percentile against role-specific norm groups (graduate, manager, professional, technical), and per-subtest percentiles. There is also a harder Logiks Advanced variant: 30 questions in 20 minutes, used for graduate schemes and senior roles.

Vad Cubiks Logiks faktiskt ar
Cubiks Ltd grundades 2000 och forvaervades av PSI Services 2020, som sedan omdopte sig till Talogy 2021. Logiks-serien, inkluderande Logiks Adaptive och den klassiska Logiks General Ability, ar nu Talogyns flaggskipskognitiva bedoming.
Testet kors med 50 fragor pa 12 minuter. Verbal reasoning-sektionen ar storst med 24 fragor, nar kandidater maste lasa korta passager och bestamma om pastaenden ar sanna, falska eller man kan inte avgora. Den numeriska sektionen ar 16 fragor med tillaten kalkylator, testade mot datatabeller och diagram. Den abstrakta sektionen ar 10 fragor testade pa formtransformationssekvenser.
Talogy publicerar fyra normgrupper: Allman (blandad arbetsstyrka), Graduat (universitetsdiplomerade), Yrkesman (erfaret proffs) och Ledare (senior ledning). Cutoffs varierar dramatiskt av normgrupp. Samma rascore pa 32 korrekt kan vara 70:e percentilen mot Allman normen och 45:e percentilen mot Yrkesman normen.
De tre Logiks-sektionerna och hur man pacerar var och en
Sektionerna kors inte separat. Alla 50 fragor delar en enda 12-minuters klocka. Verbala fragor 1 till 24 tenderar att komma forst, sedan numeriska, sedan abstrakta, men det kan variera.
Verbal (24 fragor)
Sann/Falsk/Man kan inte avgora pa korta passager. Den storsta sektionen med 48 procent av fragorna. Vansta tid-sink om man over-laser passager. Sikt pa 30 sekunder per verbal fraga. Nyckeln: om passagen inte stater det explicit, ar svaret man kan inte avgora, inte falskt.
Numerisk (16 fragor)
Procent, forhallanden, diagramtolkning, grundlaggande algebra. Kalkylator tillaten. 40 till 45 sekunder per element. Datahämtningshastighet (hitta ratt cell i tabellen pa 3 sekunder) slar aritmetikformaga.
Abstrakt (10 fragor)
Formtransformationssekvenser, matrismonstrat, udda-ett-ut. Minst fragor men hog kognitiv last. Sikt pa 40 sekunder vardera. Nar du inte ser regeln pa 15 sekunder, gissa och ga vidare.
Hopp-strategi
Hoppa fran en fraga om du inte ser ett svar pa 15 sekunder. Logiks bestraffar inte fel svar, sa ett gissning ar alltid battre an blank. I de sista 60 sekunderna, fyll alla kvarstaende svar med ett konsekvent val.

Inside Talogy norm groups and the publisher journey from Cubiks to Talogy
The Cubiks to PSI to Talogy ownership trail
Cubiks was founded in 1999 as a UK assessment firm. PSI Talent Management acquired Cubiks in 2019. PSI rebranded to Talogy in 2022. The Logiks product line continued under each new owner with the same item bank and norm tables, though some questions have been refreshed to keep the bank from leaking through online forums.
What this means for candidates: a recruiter who says 'we use Cubiks' is referring to the same product that another recruiter calls 'Logiks' or 'Talogy.' The test, the timing, and the scoring approach are identical. Older online prep that references Cubiks branding is still relevant. Newer Talogy-branded marketing materials describe the same core item bank.
The European center of gravity has held through ownership changes. BP, Shell, Santander, Aviva, and a long tail of UK and European employers continue to use Logiks General Intermediate as their high-volume cognitive screen. Talogy added some North American clients post-2019 acquisition, but the brand is still much heavier across the Channel.
How the four norm groups change your percentile
Talogy reports candidate scores against one of four norm groups: graduate, manager, professional, or technical. The norm group is selected by the employer based on the role family. The same raw score of 35 out of 50 lands at roughly the 70th percentile in the graduate norm, the 65th in the professional norm, the 60th in the manager norm, and the 75th in the technical norm.
What this means in practice: knowing which norm group your employer uses changes the prep target by 5 to 10 percentile points. Most graduate-scheme employers (Shell graduate, BP graduate, Santander graduate program) use the graduate norm. Professional and technical hires (engineering, IT) use the professional and technical norms respectively. Manager norms apply to senior commercial roles.
Asking the recruiter which norm group your test reports against is a fair question. Most are willing to confirm the role family if not the exact norm. PrepClubs Cubiks mocks ship with all four norm-group conversions so candidates can map their prep score to the norm their target role uses.
The 24-verbal-item gravity well and how it eats time
Verbal items are the largest single category on Logiks General Intermediate at 24 questions out of 50. The test is timed in a single 12-minute window with no announced subsection breaks, but the items often appear in clusters by category. Candidates who get stuck on a hard verbal cluster can lose 90 to 120 seconds before they realize they have over-invested.
The trap is UK English vocabulary on a US-trained verbal instinct. Words like 'gauge,' 'mitigate,' 'prudent,' 'judicious,' and 'astute' show up frequently. They are familiar but not always at snap-recognition speed for North American candidates. Adding a 50-word UK business-English flashcard list to prep solves this in two days.
Top scorers run 8 to 12 seconds on verbal antonyms, 18 to 22 seconds on short-passage inferences, 15 to 20 seconds on numerical word problems, and 6 to 10 seconds on abstract pattern items. This pacing produces 36 to 42 correct on a 50-item set, which lands above the 75th percentile in any norm group.

Hur Logiks-scoring fungerar och normgrupp-fallgropen
Rawpoangen ar antalet ratta av 50. Talogy konverterar rawet till en percentil mot en av fyra normgrupper: Allman, Graduat, Yrkesman eller Ledare. Normgruppen valjs av arbetsgivaren och du ser den vanligtvis inte pa inbjudan.
Typical cutoffs: Deloitte och KPMG UK graduate-program-krav rapporteras runt 70:e percentilen mot Graduat-normen. Mid-market konsult- och bankforetag krar ofta 60:e percentilen. Tekniska och ingenjorsroller accepterar ibland 55:e percentilen med andra filter som gor mer filtrering.
Kalkylator-paradoxen: testet tillater kalkylator pa numerisk, men de flesta kandidater slosar 10 till 15 sekunder per element pa att navigera kalkylatorns UI. Trana mental matematik for 2-siffrig procent och enkel forhallanden sa att du bara aktiverar kalkylatorn for tung aritmetik.
Who uses the Cubiks?
Cubiks Logiks anvands av Deloitte, KPMG, Heineken, Reckitt, Shell och hundratals globala arbetsgivare. Det ar det dominerande kognitiva filtret i EMEA graduate-rekrytering.
En 6-dagars Logiks-forberedelseplan
Dag 1: Baslinje och normgrupp-identifikation
Gor ett 50-elements mock otidsbegraensat. Rakna ut din per-sektions-traffprocent. Fraga rekryteraren vilken normgrupp de anvander. Om de inte beratter, anta Graduat-normen och sikta pa 70:e percentilen.
Dag 2: Verbal kan-inte-avgora-borrning
30 verbala element med fokus pa man kan inte avgora-regeln. Om passagen inte stater nagot explicit, ar svaret man kan inte avgora, inte falskt. De flesta kandidater svarar falskt for ofta. Ratta den reflexen.
Dag 3: Numerisk datahämtning
30 numeriska element med datatabeller och diagram. Med kalkylator. Tranas pa att hitta ratt cell i en tabell pa 3 sekunder. Sedan ar aritmetiken snabb.
Dag 4: Abstrakt regelkategorier
20 abstrakta element fokuserade pa de vanligaste regelkategorierna: rotation, reflektion, skalning, siffra-per-form, farginversion. Nar du kanner igen en regel ar elementet klar pa 10 sekunder.
Dag 5: Full tidsbegraensad mock
50 element pa 12 minuter. Registrera per-sektions-poang och antalet blank. Om mer an 5 fragor lampades blank, ar ditt problem timing, inte noggranhet.
Dag 6: Vila och felgranskning
Ingen ny ovning. Granska dina fragefelsmonstrat fran dag 5. Granska normgrupp-implikationerna om du fick mer information. Sov 8 timmar.
Tre Logiks-misstag som sanker percentilpoangen
Over-lasa verbala passager
Cubiks verbala sektion tillater 30 sekunder per element. Kandidater som forsoker lasa och forsta passagen holistiskt brukar hinna med 18 till 20 fragor, inte 24. Skumma, hitta det relevanta kravet, svara.
Under-anvanda kalkylatorn pa numerisk
Tillaten kalkylator pa numerisk innebar att noggrannhet tar over hastighet pa den sektionen. Kandidater som forsoker mental-matematisera allt for att spara sekunder gor ofta aritmetikfel pa flersteg-problem. Anvand kalkylatorn.
Lamna blanks pa abstrakta element
Abstrakta fragor ser svarestut for otrenanade kandidater, och manga hoppar alla 10 och gissar noll. 10 abstrakta fragor ar 20 procent av testet. En blind gissning pa alla 10 ger statistiskt 2 till 3 ratta. Det ar battre an blank pa alla 10.
