Number Ranking and Time Sequence Test— Concepts, Formulas & Shortcuts
- Position from right = total − position from left + 1.
- Total = position from left + position from right − 1.
- People strictly between two positions = |difference| − 1.
- "Between" excludes both endpoints; "from A to B" includes them.
- For day counting, take the number of days modulo 7 and shift from the known day.
- Draw the row when two overlapping ranks are given; the arithmetic alone invites error.
