Summary Formula Tricks Mistakes Solved Example Practice FAQ

Alphabet Test revision for SSC GD: understand the relation, apply the correct logical method, avoid assumptions and practise under time.

Alphabet Test questions use positions and patterns in the English alphabet. Common tasks include forward/backward position, opposite letters, letter gaps and coded shifts.

SSC GD focus: Identify the relation or positional rule first, then solve with the shortest valid reasoning path and verify the final option.

Alphabet Test revision: rule → diagram/relation → option check → timed practice → error review.

Core relation
Fast method
Common trap
Approved practice

A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26
Opposite-position sum = 27

Memorise a few anchor positions such as A1, E5, J10, O15, T20, Z26 and move from them instead of counting from A every time.

Translate the wording into a small diagram, relation or rule.
Use only information stated or logically forced by the question.
Eliminate options only after the core relation is clear.

Adding assumptions that are not given.
Reversing left/right, rank direction or relationship direction.
Choosing a familiar-looking option before testing the rule.

Practice example: For Alphabet Test, choose the pair with the same relation as Book : Reading.

Solution: A book is used for reading, and a pen is used for writing.

If the letters of GARDEN are arranged alphabetically, which letter will be third from the right?
Starting from A, every second letter of the English alphabet is written: A, C, E, G, ... Which letter is seventh?
Which letter is four places to the right of the tenth letter from the left in the English alphabet?

Learn the shortcut first

Shortcut before you solve

Alphabet Test becomes faster when you identify whether the question is about position, gap, order, or reverse order.

Faster solving steps

Use this 4-step method before solving to keep your thinking fast and repeatable.

Step 1 Identify relation

Spot the pattern, relationship, or core idea first.

Step 2 Apply same pattern

Use the same rule instead of re-solving from scratch.

Step 3 Eliminate wrong options

Remove confusing choices before comparing the last few.

Step 4 Confirm final answer

Pick the option that matches the shortcut most cleanly.

Now apply the trick on real questions

Use the shortcut above before solving these questions

Use letter positions only when needed, and first check direction, gap, or relative order.

Tip: A = 1 and Z = 26 is useful, but many alphabet questions need only forward/backward counting.

Step 1

Move right from D: E, F, G.

Step 2

The required letter is G.

Rule

Count positions carefully in the direction specified by the question.

3-second trick

Mark the starting letter and direction before counting.

Trap to avoid

Do not count the starting letter as the first move unless the question explicitly says so.

Correct answer

Thinking path

Start at D.
Move three positions right.
You reach G.

Final answer: G

Why this is fast: Direct positional counting avoids writing the full alphabet.
