Free WISC-V practice test — Grade 3

10 original WISC-V-style questions for Grade 3, with answers and full explanations. No signup needed.

These free WISC-style reasoning questions practice the kinds of thinking the WISC-V measures — visual puzzles, matrix reasoning, and working with patterns — in a child-friendly format.

The WISC-V is administered one-on-one by a psychologist, so practice here builds comfort with the reasoning styles rather than memorizing answers.

Question 1Verbal Comprehension
Complete the analogy: BRANCH is to TREE as WING is to ___
  1. Aflower
  2. Bhouse
  3. Cbird
  4. Dguitar
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The relationship is "part to its whole." branch → tree, so wing → bird.

?
  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
  5. E
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: E

Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives E. The others: A invents a mark neither design has; B keeps only the first design; C keeps only the second design; D loses one mark in the merge.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

In the top row, the figure shrinks. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E right change, wrong figure shape.

Question 4Quantitative Reasoning
