IPAT考题

IPAT 的全称是 IBM Personal Aptitude Test，即 IBM 个人能力测试。

这是 IBM 招募新员工的笔试，考查英文阅读速度和基本运算反应能力。   我前些天申请了 IBM 公司的工作，ChinaHR 初选后通知我去参加笔试。 以下内容纯属个人感想，不涉及题目内容、对 IBM 的评价，仅供参考。   
A) 题目分布：   PartⅠ         25 min    30 Ques
                           PartⅡ         10 min           40 Ques
                           PartⅢ         30 min           25 Ques  
每次发试卷后，有 5 分钟的时间看答题样板，三个部分总共 15 分钟。 所以考试的总时间是 80 分钟。
B) 题目类型：   PartⅠ         矩阵排列（就是把行和列变来边去，让你说出字母） PartⅡ         数列猜测（就是连续出现一些字母，让你猜下一个） PartⅢ         数学计算（主要是一些分数的运算，小学理解能力）   C) 题目难度：   其实说白了一点都不难，绝对是小学三年级水平。但是很多人都没能按 时做完全部题目，甚至忙中出错，主要的原因是看英文题目，思考太久。   D) 考试建议：   个人建议诸位准备参加 IPAT 考试的兄弟姐妹，连续两周进行填鸭式的 阅读训练，不求精确理解，只要速度够快，靠印象判断就行，肯定高分。  

IBM笔试归来：
三部分
第一部分 看矩阵题 时间15分钟
感觉不熟悉这种方式，时间有太紧
做得最不好。后悔昨天没有在意这种
题星。题信如下：
PartⅠ:         本部分计分方法为答对题数乘1                                                                                                      俾你一个矩阵：         ㈠ ㈡ ㈢ ㈣ ㈤                      详情请留意
                         1     a  b  c  d  e                       aa直销网站
                         2     b  c  a  e  d                       会员有特价
                         3     c  b  e  a  d
                         4     c  e  d  b  a
                         5     e  d  a  c  b
        回答以下问题。
        问：⑴将第一行和第四行交换后，第一行第四个字母下面啲左边啲下面啲右
              边啲字母係？
                ①a ②b ③c ④d ⑤e
            ⑵将所有出现在d左边啲字母从矩阵中删掉。将所有出现在a左边啲c字母
              从矩阵中删掉。如果矩阵中剩低啲字母啲种类啲数目大于3，答案为原
              矩阵中左上方至右下方对角线上出现两次啲字母。如果矩阵中剩低啲字
              母啲种类啲数目小于或者等于3，答案为原矩阵中右上至左下对角线上
              出现4次啲字母。
                ①a ②b ③c ④d ⑤e
                                                                        P4
            ⑶将所有啲a用4替换，所有啲d用2替换，边一列啲总和最大？
                ①㈠ ②㈡ ③㈢ ④㈣ ⑤㈤
            ⑷从左上字母开始，沿顺时针沿矩阵外围，第四次出现啲字母係以下边个
？
                ①a ②b ③c ④d ⑤e
            ⑸沿第5列从上到下，接着沿第3列从下到上，接着沿第4列从上到下，接着
              沿第1列从下到上，接着沿第2列从上到下，第一个出现5次啲字母係？
                ①㈠ ②㈡ ③㈢ ④㈣ ⑤㈤
            ⑷从左上字母开始，沿顺时针沿矩阵外围，第四次出现啲字母係以下边个
？
                ①a ②b ③c ④d ⑤e
            ⑸沿第5列从上到下，接着沿第3列从下到上，接着沿第4列从上到下，接着
              沿第1列从下到上，接着沿第2列从上到下，第一个出现5次啲字母係？
                ①a ②b ③c ④d ⑤e
                （请停止作答，等待提示翻到下一页）
。
第二部分：英文字母排序 时间25
个人心得：先把26个字母写一排在纸上，容易找归率些。可惜做到一半采用此法。没作完。
题信大至是：aabbcc  选下一个为d。当然有的不这么简单，有时跳了好多个，也有向前
或
向后跳着的规律。所以先把26个字母写一排在纸上，容易找归率些。
第三部分：数学题时间35
繁琐的数学，最好不用计算器（欧只用了两次计算器），大致估算就可，这样节约时间

1．一个粗细均匀的长直管子，两端开口，里面有4个白球和4个黑球，球的直径、两端开
口
的直径等于管子的内径，现在白球和黑球的排列是wwwwbbbb，要求不取出任何一个球，
使得
排列变为bbwwwwbb。
2．一只蜗牛从井底爬到井口，每天白天蜗牛要睡觉，晚上才出来活动，一个晚上蜗牛可
以
向上爬3尺，但是白天睡觉的时候会往下滑2尺，井深10尺，问蜗牛几天可以爬出来？
3．在一个平面上画1999条直线最多能将这一平面划分成多少个部分？
4．在太平洋的一个小岛上生活着土人，他们不愿意被外人打扰，一天，一个探险家到了
岛
上，被土人抓住，土人的祭司告诉他，你临死前还可以有一个机会留下一句话，如果这
句话
是真的，你将被烧死，是假的，你将被五马分尸，可怜的探险家如何才能活下来？
5．怎样种四棵树使得任意两棵树的距离相等。
6．27个小运动员在参加完比赛后，口渴难耐，去小店买饮料，饮料店搞促销，凭三个空
瓶
可以再换一瓶，他们最少买多少瓶饮料才能保证一人一瓶？
7．有一座山，山上有座庙，只有一条路可以从山上的庙到山脚，每周一早上8点，有一
个聪
明的小和尚去山下化缘，周二早上8点从山脚回山上的庙里，小和尚的上下山的速度是任
意
的，在每个往返中，他总是能在周一和周二的同一钟点到达山路上的同一点。例如，有
一次
他发现星期一的8点30和星期二的8点30他都到了山路靠山脚的3/4的地方，问这是为什么
？
8．有两根不均匀分布的香，每根香烧完的时间是一个小时，你能用什么方法来确定一段
15
分钟的时间？
