ABSTRACT REASONING – Practice Test 3

Name:__________________________________ Date:_________ Score:_____/75

Important Points
The purpose of non-verbal reasoning test is to find out how well a candidate understands ideas
which are not presented in words or numbers, but in figures, diagrams, pictograms presented in terms
of size or shape or position or quantity or other non-verbal, non-numerical forms. What is important
in solving the problems of non-verbal reasoning tests is to follow a logical procedure. This latent
logical procedure will help the candidate to find out the principle on which the problem figure is
based.

27. Important Points

a b c d
In this test, a set of 3/4/5 figures is given.
Each figure changes in design from the preceding
one in a particular order. Candidates are required
to choose the correct answer figure, which would
28. best continue the series.
b c d This test judges your pattern perception. You
a
have to discern the pattern which may be
quantitative, qualitative, rotative, multi-relational,
or ratio-based. The series-may also be based on
mixed operations, in which various elements
29. change their directions/positions, increase or
b c d decrease in number as well as change qualitatively.
a
This test also includes questions on correct
sequence of figures. Students are asked as to
interchange of which two figures would make
the series correct.

a b c d Multiple Choice Questions

Directions: There are two set of figures. One set

is called problem figures and the other set is
called answer figures. Problem set figures from
some kind of series. Select one figure from the
answer set figures which will continue the series
in the problem set figures.

iii) III. Analog
Test Test
'Analogy' implies corresponding. In the problems based on analogy, a pair of related figures is
provided and a similar relationship is to be established between two other figures, by selecting one or
both of them from a set of alternatives.

Multiple Choice Questions

Directions: Figures 1 & 2 in Problem figures are related in a particular manner. Establish the
same relationship between figures 3 and 4 by choosing a figure from among the four alternative
answer figures, which would replace the question mark in problem figures.

These are based on the Raven Progressive Matrices Tests (1938-56). They were developed in
England and used during World War II. They are non-verbal scales developed to judge your ability to
comprehend correlations between geometric figures and diagrams, and to perceive the structure of
the design in order to select the appropriate part from amongst a number of choices for completion of
each pattern.

Multiple Choice Questions

Directions: A pattern/figure is given, a portion of which is left incomplete. A few choices- a,b,c
and d in the answer figures are also given. You have to select the figure which fits into the blank
space in the incomplete figure so that the original pattern is complete.
