Why should you prepare for the abstract reasoning test?

When solving an abstract reasoning test question, which requires you to recognise the rule behind the transformation of shapes in a series, you are asked to rely on what is referred to as your ‘ intuition’ . In fact, there are numerous models and patterns of transformation rules between shapes, and you need to quickly scan your memory to apply a suitable pattern to the specific question based on previous experience.

Your chances of succeeding in solving these types of questions grow as you have more models and patterns in your memory and as your ability to match the right one to a question increases. Only repetitive exercises and learning transformation principles will equip you with many models and pattern types. The more you learn and practice, the more you are likely to quickly find a suitable model for a question or recognise a different version of a model.
