Army-administered

Current public Army materials show seven SIFT subtests, a 20-80 score scale, and a 40 minimum qualifying score. The exam is free, computer-based, and normally scheduled through an Army education center, MEPS, recruiter, or the Army Personnel Testing office. The Army does not publicly release a single percentage weighting formula for the overall composite score, so serious prep should cover all seven subtests.

1Which pattern is different from the other three?
A.A-B-A
B.C-D-C
C.E-F-F
D.G-H-G
Explanation: Three options mirror the first symbol after a different center symbol. "E-F-F" breaks that pattern because it repeats the second symbol instead of returning to the first.
2Which choice does not follow the same visual rule as the other three?
A.7-3-7
B.8-2-8
C.5-1-4
D.9-6-9
Explanation: Three options follow the same A-B-A pattern, where the last symbol matches the first. "5-1-4" breaks that rule because the final number does not return to 5.
3Which option breaks the shared pattern?
A.ABBA
B.CDDC
C.EFGH
D.IHHI
Explanation: Three choices are mirror patterns with matching outer letters and matching inner letters. "EFGH" is the odd one because neither the outside pair nor the inside pair matches.
4Which pattern does not match the other three?
A.K-L-L-K
B.M-N-N-M
C.P-Q-R-P
D.S-T-T-S
Explanation: The common pattern is a four-character mirror: first and last match, and the two middle characters match. "P-Q-R-P" is different because the middle pair is not identical.
5Which choice is the odd one out?
A.24642
B.35753
C.46864
D.57965
Explanation: The first three options are five-character palindromes, so they read the same from left to right and right to left. "57965" is different because the final two digits do not mirror the opening two digits.
6Which option fails to follow the mirror rule?
A.R-S-T-S-R
B.L-M-N-M-L
C.P-Q-R-S-P
D.A-B-C-B-A
Explanation: Choices 1, 2, and 4 use a centered mirror pattern in which the sequence on the right reverses the sequence on the left. "P-Q-R-S-P" breaks that symmetry because the fourth symbol should be Q to preserve the mirror.
7Which pattern does not belong with the other three?
A.12|21
B.34|43
C.56|56
D.78|87
Explanation: In three options, the numbers after the separator reverse the order of the numbers before it. "56|56" is different because the right side repeats the original order instead of mirroring it.
8Which choice breaks the outer-symbol pattern?
A.XOX
B.YZY
C.UVU
D.PQQ
Explanation: The shared rule is that the first and last letters match, with a different middle letter between them. "PQQ" breaks that rule because its last letter does not return to P.
9Which option is different based on symbol order?
A.<1<
B.>2>
C.[3]
D.{4{
Explanation: Three options repeat the same outer symbol on both sides of the number. "[3]" is different because it uses two different bracket directions instead of matching outer symbols.
10Which choice disrupts the repeated-edge pattern?
A.AB-C-BA
B.DE-F-ED
C.GH-I-GH
D.JK-L-KJ
Explanation: The correct pattern uses a left pair, a center marker, and then the reversed left pair. "GH-I-GH" is different because the right pair repeats the left side instead of reversing it to HG.
