GL-STYLE MIXED MOCK 13: MATHS AND VERBAL REASONING. Time allowed: 45 minutes in total, split into two timed sections - do not turn back to Section 1 once Section 2 has begun. Section 1: Mathematics - 25 questions, 25 minutes, no calculator allowed. Section 2: Verbal Reasoning - 30 questions, 20 minutes, across six question types (5 questions each), each introduced with its own one-line instruction: Closest in Meaning, Number Series, Letter Codes, Insert a Letter, Make a New Word, and Logical Deduction. Every question is multiple choice with five options, A to E, and is worth 1 mark. Choose the single best answer for each question. There is no negative marking, so attempt every question. Total marks available: 55. Work as quickly and carefully as you can, and check your answers if you finish a section early.

Worked example. Worked example (Letter Codes): If the code for BAT is CBU (each letter moved forward one place in the alphabet), what is the code for FOX? Answer: GPY. Work out the rule from the example pair first: B becomes C, A becomes B, and T becomes U, so every letter moves forward one place in the alphabet. Applying the same rule to FOX: F becomes G, O becomes P, and X becomes Y, giving GPY. Always check the rule against every letter of the example before applying it to the new word.
