Sample SLLC Entrance Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your SLLC Entrance exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In a certain code, CAT is written as DBU. How is DOG written in the same code?

A.EPH

B.EPF

C.FQI

D.DPH

Explanation: Each letter is shifted one position forward in the alphabet: C to D, A to B, T to U. Applying the same rule to DOG gives E, P, H, so DOG becomes EPH.

2Find the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

A.40

B.42

C.36

D.44

Explanation: The differences between terms increase by 2 each time: 4, 6, 8, 10. The next difference is 12, so 30 + 12 = 42. Equivalently each term is n(n+1): 1x2, 2x3, 3x4, ... and the sixth is 6x7 = 42.

3Pencil is to Write as Knife is to:

A.Sharp

B.Cut

C.Metal

D.Kitchen

Explanation: A pencil is a tool whose main function is to write; likewise a knife is a tool whose main function is to cut. The analogy is tool to its primary action.

4If all roses are flowers and some flowers fade quickly, which conclusion must be true?

A.All roses fade quickly

B.Some roses fade quickly

C.All flowers are roses

D.It is not certain that any rose fades quickly

Explanation: All roses are flowers, but only 'some' flowers fade quickly. The flowers that fade quickly need not include any roses, so we cannot conclude that any rose fades quickly. The only safe statement is that it is not certain.

5Choose the odd one out: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

A.3

B.5

C.9

D.11

Explanation: All the numbers are odd, but 3, 5, 7 and 11 are prime numbers while 9 (3 x 3) is composite. So 9 is the odd one out.

6A is the brother of B. B is the sister of C. C is the father of D. How is A related to D?

A.Father

B.Uncle

C.Brother

D.Grandfather

Explanation: A is the brother of B, and B is the sister of C, so A, B and C are siblings. C is the father of D, making A the brother of D's father, that is, D's uncle.

7Complete the series: Z, X, V, T, ?

A.S

B.R

C.Q

D.P

Explanation: The letters move backward through the alphabet skipping one each time: Z, (Y), X, (W), V, (U), T, (S), R. After T the next letter two steps back is R.

8Pointing to a photograph, a man said, 'She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son.' How is the woman in the photograph related to the man?

A.Mother

B.Sister

C.Aunt

D.Cousin

Explanation: The man's grandfather's only son is the man's own father. The daughter of the man's father is the man's sister. So the woman is his sister.

9If FRIEND is coded as GSJFOE, how is MOTHER coded?

A.NPUIFS

B.NPUIFR

C.LNSGDQ

D.NQUIFS

Explanation: Each letter is shifted one place forward: F to G, R to S, and so on. Applying the same shift to MOTHER gives N, P, U, I, F, S, that is NPUIFS.

10Find the missing number: 7, 14, 28, 56, ?

A.84

B.98

C.112

D.70

Explanation: Each term is double the previous one: 7, 14, 28, 56, and 56 x 2 = 112. The series multiplies by 2 each step.

About the SLLC Entrance Exam

The Sri Lanka Law College (SLLC) General Entrance Examination is the admission test for the attorney-at-law qualification pathway run by the Council of Legal Education at Sri Lanka Law College in Colombo. It is conducted by the Department of Examinations and has merit papers that are multiple choice plus qualifying Language Proficiency papers. The two merit papers are General Intelligence (IQ), which tests logical and analytical reasoning in about 50 questions over one hour, and General Knowledge, which tests Sri Lankan civics, history, geography and world affairs in about 50 questions over one hour. The Language Proficiency papers (a Sinhala or Tamil paper and an English paper) test grammar, comprehension and essay writing and act as qualifying gates rather than counting toward the merit ranking. Selection is competitive: candidates must clear the language gate and then rank highly on the combined IQ and General Knowledge marks against the limited number of places.

Assessment

Merit multiple-choice papers: General Intelligence (IQ), about 50 questions in 1 hour, and General Knowledge, about 50 questions in 1 hour. Separate qualifying Language Proficiency papers (Sinhala or Tamil, and English) include comprehension and essay writing.

Time Limit

General Intelligence (IQ) 1 hour and General Knowledge 1 hour for the merit papers, plus about 1.5 hours each for the qualifying Language Proficiency papers scheduled separately.

Passing Score

No fixed pass mark. Candidates must clear the qualifying Language Proficiency papers, and admission is then competitive based on aggregate merit from the IQ and General Knowledge papers against the available number of places.

Exam Fee

Approximately LKR 1,200 application fee, set each year by the Council of Legal Education / Sri Lanka Law College; confirm the current amount in the official notice. (Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka, on behalf of the Council of Legal Education / Sri Lanka Law College)

SLLC Entrance Study Tips from Top Performers

1Practise the IQ paper against a clock at about one minute per question so you learn to skip a hard puzzle, bank the easy marks and return at the end.

2Build a personal IQ toolkit: rehearse number and letter series patterns, common coding-decoding rules, and a quick method for syllogisms and blood-relation chains so you recognise the type fast.

3For General Knowledge, study durable Sri Lankan facts (constitution, provinces, capitals, rivers, national symbols, major historical periods) rather than volatile names of current officeholders that change often.

4Keep a running notebook of world organizations (UN, SAARC, Commonwealth, WHO, ICJ) and their purposes, since these recur in the General Knowledge paper.

5Work past papers under exam timing for both merit papers, then review every wrong answer to see whether you lost the mark on knowledge, careless reading or pace.

6Do not neglect the qualifying Language Proficiency papers: strong language skills are a gate to selection even though only the IQ and General Knowledge marks build your merit rank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which papers does this practice bank cover?

It covers the two multiple-choice merit papers that count toward selection: General Intelligence (IQ) and General Knowledge. It does not cover the qualifying Language Proficiency papers, which use comprehension and essay writing rather than single-best-answer questions.

How is the SLLC General Entrance Examination structured?

The merit papers are General Intelligence (IQ), about 50 questions in 1 hour, and General Knowledge, about 50 questions in 1 hour, both multiple choice. Separate Language Proficiency papers (Sinhala or Tamil, and English) of about 1.5 hours each act as qualifying gates.

Is there a pass mark for the SLLC entrance exam?

There is no single fixed pass mark. Candidates must first clear the qualifying Language Proficiency papers, then admission is competitive based on the aggregate merit from the IQ and General Knowledge papers against the limited number of available places.

Who conducts the Sri Lanka Law College entrance exam?

It is run by the Council of Legal Education at Sri Lanka Law College in Colombo and conducted by the Department of Examinations, Sri Lanka. Online applications are typically made through the Department of Examinations portal.

What language can I answer the merit papers in?

Candidates may answer the merit papers in Sinhala, Tamil or English. Those who answer in Sinhala or Tamil sit the English Language paper, and those who answer in English sit the Sinhala or Tamil Language paper, so a second-language gate always applies.

Are these official Sri Lanka Law College past-paper questions?

No. These are original OpenExamPrep questions modelled on the IQ and General Knowledge paper skills, using accurate Sri Lankan context and durable facts. Always check the official Sri Lanka Law College notice for the current syllabus, fee and dates.
