Non-Verbal Reasoning Level 2: Figure Series, Analogy and Classification
This Level 2 set on Aptitude360 mixes three non-verbal reasoning question types: figure series, figure analogies and odd-figure-out classification. Each item asks you to read a visual pattern rather than words. Every question comes with a worked solution explaining the pattern behind the answer.
What this non-verbal reasoning set tests
- Figure series: choosing the figure that comes next in a sequence of figures
- Figure analogy: finding the figure related to the third figure in the same way as the second is related to the first
- Classification: picking the one figure out of four that differs from the other three
Key concepts for figure series and analogy questions
- Reading the change between consecutive figures one element at a time
- Identifying the relationship within a given pair of figures before looking at the options
- Spotting the common property shared by three figures in an odd-one-out question
- Recognising common kinds of visual change, for example rotation, movement of an element, change in shading or change in the number of elements
Preparation tips for non-verbal reasoning
- Track one element at a time across figures instead of the whole picture.
- In analogy questions, state the change in the first pair in words before applying it.
- In series, check whether two separate patterns run together.
- Eliminate options that break even one part of the pattern.
Who this level suits
It suits candidates preparing for reasoning sections of competitive exams who have completed the basics and want medium-level figure practice.
