DOST Scholarship Exam Practice Test & Reviewer
Practice with real DOST-SEI format questions in Abstract Reasoning, Mathematics, and General Science. No negative deductions.
1. Non-Verbal Reasoning: A sequence begins with a square containing 1 dot, a pentagon with 2 dots, a hexagon with 4 dots, and a heptagon with 8 dots. What is the next figure?
2. Physics: If the distance between two gravitational masses is halved, the gravitational force between them increases by a factor of:
DOST Test Solutions
Item 1 Solution: B (Octagon with 16 dots). Polygon sides increase by +1 (4, 5, 6, 7 -> 8 sides = Octagon). Dot count doubles geometrically (1, 2, 4, 8 -> 16 dots).
Item 2 Solution: B (4 times). By Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation ($F = G rac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$), force is inversely proportional to $r^2$. Halving $r$ gives $(1/2)^2 = 1/4$ in the denominator, scaling force by 4.
