This Abstract reasoning test comprises 16 questions. You will

have 16 minutes in which to correctly answer as many as you can.
In each question you will be presented with a logical sequence of five figures.
You will need to determine which of the possible answers best matches the next
figure in the sequence, or replaces the missing figure in the sequence.
You will have to work quickly and accurately to perform well in this test. It
is recommended to keep working until the time limit is up.
Try to find a time and place where you will not be interrupted during the test.

Each block in the series contains three rows of triangles. Firstly, at each step in
the series, the central triangle alternates between a black shading and a white
shading. Secondly, the ‘black shading’ of the sixth triangle (the third triangle on
the second row) moves around the perimeter by one triangle for each step in the
series. Thus the ninth triangle (the third triangle on the third row) becomes
black, and at the same step the ‘black shading’ of the sixth triangle disappears,
leaving its original white shading.
Correct Answer: D
2
Each block in the series contains four figures. The flower figure moves around clockwise,
one figure at a time, and swops its position with each of these figures as it does so.
Correct Answer: B
3
Each block in the series contains two arrows. At each step in the
series: the first arrow rotates anticlockwise by 45-degrees at each
step in the series; and the second arrow, which is always horizontal,
alternates between pointing right and pointing left.
Correct Answer: F
4
Each block in the series contains two to three rows of squares, to which one is
added at each step in the series. The first block is added to the bottom left-hand
corner and then a subsequent new square is added to each of the other three
corners, in an anticlockwise direction.
Correct Answer: A
5
There is a central circle surrounded by eight circles. The central circle changes
colour from grey to having a dotted outline to black. At each step in the series
one circle is removed in the order of white, black, grey circles. The order of the
remaining circles is randomised.
Correct Answer: E
6
There are two sets of figures: one figure moves from each row at each step of the series: (i)
The first figure in the top row moves to the end of the second row; and (ii) The first figure in
the bottom row moves to the end of the first row of figures.
Correct Answer: D
7
There are four arrows. At each step in the series: the first arrow rotates 45-
degrees clockwise; the second arrow rotates 45-degrees anticlockwise;
the third arrow and the fourth arrow are eflections of the first two arrows in
the horizontal plane.
Correct Answer: F
8
There are two figures: a triangle and a circle. At each step in the series both the
circle and the triangle move a step down a vertical line. As each shape reaches
the bottom of a block it returns’ to the top of the next block.
Correct Answer: B
9
There are two figures at each point in the series: (i) The black square moves
anticlockwise around the block, one corner at a time. (ii) The white square
moves clockwise around the block, one corner at a time.
Correct Answer: E
10
There are two figures at each point in the series: (i) The black square moves
anticlockwise around the block, one corner at a time. (ii) The white square
moves clockwise around the block, one corner at a time.
Correct Answer: E
11
Each block in the series contains three rows of squares, each including a single black
square. At each step in the series the first black square moves down the first vertical
column, and then down the second vertical column – moving a single square along each
column at each step in the series. When a square reaches the bottom row, at the next step
in the series the square goes to the top of that vertical column of squares.
Correct Answer: D
12
Each block in the series contains three rows of three circles, including a single black
circle. At each step in the series the first black circle moves along the top horizontal row,
and then along the middle row – moving a single circle along each row at each step in the
series.
Correct Answer: A
13
Each block in the series contains an arrow in each corner. At each step in the series two
adjacent arrows reverse their direction. This process starts with the top left-hand corner
and bottom left-hand corner arrows. Then the next two adjacent arrows - moving one
figure clockwise
Correct Answer: D
14
Each block in the series contains three rows of squares. There are 3 rules; the black square
in the top and third row alternate between moving one place to the left along their
respective horizontal rows. The second rule is that the black square in the middle row
moves two places to the right along its row. The third rule is that when a black
square reaches the end of a row it returns to the start of its horizontal row.
Correct Answer: C
15
Each block in the series contains three rows of squares. At each step in the series the
squares making up the 4 sides move one square around this perimeter in an anticlockwise
direction.
Correct Answer: F
16
Each block in the series contains three rows of three circles. At each step in the series there
are two rules. The first is that the black shading of each circle moves across the row of
circles, one circle at a time. The second rule is that as the circles reach the end of a row,
it moves to the beginning of the same row.
Correct Answer: D
