Overview

Find the rule, pick the missing cell.

The SOVA logical section is a draw of 15 visual matrix puzzles in the three real formats — 1×4, 2×4 and 3×3 grids where elements move, rotate, combine and count according to a hidden rule. Ours draws a fresh set every attempt and times it like the exam.

After marking, the report walks through each puzzle’s underlying rule, so a miss becomes a lesson in the rule family you haven’t cracked yet — rotation, superposition, progression or intersection.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How close is Bain SOVA Logical to the real thing?

▾

A draw of 15 visual matrix puzzles in the three real formats — 1×4, 2×4 and 3×3 grids — re-drawn fresh on every attempt, timed like the exam, with each puzzle's underlying rule explained after marking. An independent recreation: same format and pressure, never the official content.

How do the runs work?

▾

Your purchase lives on your account: three attempts of Bain SOVA Logical, unlocked the moment payment completes. Open the tool, confirm the entry prompt, and one attempt is consumed — re-run freely within that open session. Buy Bain SOVA Logical or take it with the Bain bundle.

Do my attempts expire?

▾

No. Attempts stay on your account until you use them — buy now, practise when your assessment is scheduled. Only entering the tool consumes an attempt; within an open session you can re-run as often as you like.

Is there a refund guarantee?

▾

The outcome guarantee covers the McKinsey bundle only. Bain SOVA Logical is a Bain product — outside the guarantee standalone or in the Bain bundle — see the terms.
