Non-Verbal Reasoning Level 3 Practice: Figure Series, Analogy and Odd One Out
This Level 3 non-verbal reasoning set lets you test how well you find and apply the rule hidden in a group of figures. It covers three question types: choosing the next figure in a series, completing a figure analogy and picking the figure that does not belong. Aptitude360 explains the governing rule in a worked solution for every question.
What this figure reasoning set tests
- Figure series: selecting the figure that continues a given sequence
- Figure analogy: finding the figure related to a third figure in the same way the second relates to the first
- Classification: identifying the one figure out of four that differs from the rest
Key concepts for series, analogy and classification
- A series follows a rule that holds from each figure to the next across the whole sequence
- An analogy depends on the relationship between the first pair, not on how the figures look
- Classification rests on a feature shared by three figures and missing in the fourth
- At a higher level, more than one change can operate at the same time
Practice habits for harder figure questions
- Write down the change between the first two figures before looking at the options.
- Check that a rule fits every step of a series, not just the first two figures.
- Eliminate options that break any part of the rule you have found.
- In odd-one-out questions, name the common feature of three figures before rejecting the fourth.
Who this level suits
Aspirants for exams with a logical reasoning section who have already practised the earlier levels of this topic and want harder figure questions.
