Abstract Reasoning Practice Subtest Instructions
There are 4 different question types in this section of the exam.
For type 1, you will be presented with two sets of shapes labelled “Set A” and “Set B”. You will be given a test shape and asked to decide whether the test shape belongs to Set A, Set B, or Neither.
For type 2, you will be presented with a series of shapes. You will be asked to select the next shape in series.
For type 3, you will be presented with a statement, involving a group of shapes. You will be asked to determine which shape completes the statement.
For type 4, you will be presented with two sets of shapes labelled “Set A” and “Set B”. You will be asked to select which of the four response options belongs to Set A or Set B.
It is in your best interest to answer all questions as there is no penalty for guessing. All unanswered questions will be scored as incorrect.

Members of Set A contain a mixture of black and white elements, but the biggest element is black.
Members of Set B contain a mixture of black and white elements, but the biggest element is white.
Explanation
Neither – The shapes are the same size and therefore the implicit rule that there is a larger shape is not met so this does not belong to either set.
The largest element of any member of Set A has an even number of sides.
The largest element of any member of Set B has an odd number of sides.
Explanation
Set A – The crescent has two sides.

Colour is irrelevant to this pattern.
Members of Set A contain a smaller, similar version of their largest shape.
Members of Set B do not contain a smaller, similar version of their largest shape.

shoudlve been neither tbh this is why ive won a treble nd you have not!
Explanation
Set A – The large triangle sits predominantly on the right-hand side of the box. It is critical here to refine your rule fully – it is the predominant position of the shape meaning it can overlap the midline as long as the majority of the area is on one side.
This pattern relates size to position.
In members of Set A, the largest shape is predominantly on the right-hand side of the box.
In members of Set B, the largest shape is predominantly on the left-hand side of the box.

But there isnt any boxes with only one colour in set B so it should be neither

Hi Maya! Thanks for your comment. When any aspect of SPONCS does not have any particular pattern, we do not need to consider it as part of our analysis. Here, because there is no particular colour pattern, it does not matter that our test shape contains only white shapes.
Explanation
Set A – The arc is the largest shape.
Set A: the biggest element has at least one curved side.
Set B: the biggest element has only straight sides.
Explanation
Set B – Regardless of size, the only shape present is a straight-edged star.
Set A: the biggest element has at least one curved side.
Set B: the biggest element has only straight sides.
