Fast review mode: answers are shown by default so you can skim quickly. Hide them if you want to self-test.

You are given a sequence of letters and you have to find the next group in the series. There will always be two letters in the pattern, and always five sets of two letters in the question. You must find the sixth.

Tip: Have a piece of paper and pencil by your side with the alphabet written down. That way, you can cross letters off as you go along.

Use the alphabet:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The alphabet is given above to help you. Find the group of letters that will continue the series in the most sensible way. 

Example:
AT BS CR DQ EP

Answer: FO
The first letter in each group of letters is in alphabetical order with no spaces. The second letter in each group of letters is in reverse alphabetical order with no spaces. So we need to look for the letter after E and the letter before P.
