Overview

This set of 20 non-verbal reasoning questions focuses on analogies, an essential part of the 11+ exam. These questions challenge students to identify relationships between shapes, patterns, and structures, enhancing their problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. Each analogy requires students to examine how one shape relates to another and apply that relationship to a different set of shapes.

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 transforms into Shape B by rotating 90 degrees clockwise. Therefore, Shape C should undergo the same transformation. The correct answer is the shape that results from rotating Shape C 90 degrees clockwise.
