Overview

This set of 20 advanced non-verbal reasoning analogy questions is designed for students preparing for the 11+ exam. These questions test the students’ ability to recognise relationships between shapes and apply those relationships to solve analogous problems. The difficulty of these questions reflects the advanced level of reasoning required for selective grammar school admissions.

Example Question:

Example 1

Look at the analogy below:

Shape A relates to Shape B in the same way that Shape C relates to which option?

Question:
Shape A → Shape B

Shape C → ?

Solution:
Shape A rotates 90 degrees clockwise to become Shape B.
Therefore, Shape C should rotate 90 degrees clockwise to match the transformation applied to Shape A.
The correct answer is the shape that results from rotating Shape C 90 degrees clockwise.
