1. Which square comes next in the sequence?
A
B
C
D
Answer: B
The number of dots in the middle is decreasing by 1 each step. The number of corners on the shapes in the top left and bottom right corners is decreasing by one in each step and are always black. The other shapes are rotating 180° in each step.

2. Which square comes next in the sequence?
A
B
C
D
Answer: B
The four shapes alternate between each moving 90° anticlockwise around the square and rotating 180°. The number of the dots in the middle decreases by 1 square each time; i.e. from 4^2 to 3^2 to 2^2 etc.
3. What sequence should replace the question mark?

A
B

E
Answer: A
The sequence starts with two filled circles, progressing one number each stage ie 2,3,4,5,6,7. Each odd number contains one shaded circle, positioned to the left. Therefore, A is correct.
4. Choose the image that completes the pattern.

The unusual matrix invites us to find a correspondence between the outer shapes in each of the arms and the dots in the center of the matrix. We are supposed to understand the principles of the construct from the left matrix and then to apply them on to the right one in order to find the correct answer. The scattering of the dots has three major features, some may have a meaning, and some may not – quantity, color and spatial location. Let's begin with elimination: firstly, the number of the dots clearly corresponds with the number of shapes on each arm. That should be an immediate way to eliminate some answer choices – specifically options A and C; secondly, it is questionable whether the spatial location of the dots is significant since the left arm (four circles) of the left matrix doesn't correspond with the scattering of the dots. Option D is a distracter, using spatial location in order to misguide us. The color of the dots does have a meaning – each black dot marks a small shape, while white dots mark large shapes. Sifting through the available options, we can find that only option B fits this principle.

A
B
C
D
Answer: B
The arrows move around the square, 90° (one side) for each spear that the arrow has in each step. The dot is moving around the square anticlockwise, by an additional 90° per step.

The required reasoning is that we are exposed to a partial <Sudoku=-like pattern: no texture can repeat itself in the same column.
Only three of four textures are revealed. However, according to the Sudoku reasoning, if we try to locate the fourth pattern instead of the question mark, we shall find it impossible, since it is obligated that the fourth pattern should appear in the same column in the upper row.
Therefore, the correct answer must be the pattern revealed already that doesn9t appear yet in the bottom row – the fourth option from the left.
Alternative explanation: there are two variables in this matrix: the pattern and location of the blocks. Since the location is hard to decipher due to inadequate information, we result to the patterns of the blocks. It is easy to see that each pattern seems to appear twice in the matrix, therefore the correct answer is D.

F
Answer: F
Rule 1: Black shaded box rotates 3 squares clockwise each time.
Rule 2: Black circle rotates 2 squares anti-clockwise each time and is concealed under the black shaded box when it lands on the same spot. Therefore, F is correct.
8. What is the correct sequence selection to replace the question marks?

8. What is the correct sequence selection to replace the question marks?
A
B
C
D
Answer: B
Rule 1: There are two L shaped colors ie black and white. The first row of symbols starts off all white; the second row they are all black except for the first symbol in each group of three. The white symbol takes the place of the second symbol in the next row and the third thereafter, culminating in an all black finish (opposite of all white start). Therefore, B is correct.
9. Which number should replace the question mark?

D
E
F
Answer: C
Rule 1: There are several shapes which bear no relevance to each other and are shown in no particular order.
Rule 2: Some of the shapes have double lines – the number inside the shape identifies the number of straight angle lines. The shapes with single lines also identify the number of straight angle lines. This test is designed to imply a particular order or flow exists – reality is, there is not (nor any relevance or bearing). Therefore, the missing number is 12, C is correct.
