Free WISC-V practice test — Grade 4

10 original WISC-V-style questions for Grade 4, 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: WING is to BIRD as PETAL is to ___
  1. Aflower
  2. Bcomb
  3. Cbook
  4. Dtree
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

The relationship is "part to its whole." wing → bird, so petal → flower.

Question 2Visual Spatial

The two designs combine into one. Which answer shows the bottom two designs combined?

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

Correct answer: C

Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives C. The others: A keeps only the first design; B keeps only the second design; D invents a mark neither design has; E the merged design slid one place.

Question 3Fluid Reasoning

Look at how the first figure changes into the second. Which answer changes the bottom figure the same way?

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

Correct answer: A

In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C applies only one of the two changes; D applies the change twice; E copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.

Question 4Quantitative Reasoning
What number comes next? 40, 37, 34, 31, ___
  1. A25
  2. B28
  3. C24
  4. D27
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The pattern subtracts 3 each time. 31 − 3 = 28.

Question 5Verbal Comprehension
Complete the analogy: BIRD is to NEST as HORSE is to ___
  1. Akennel
  2. Bstable
  3. Cburrow
  4. Dcave
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The relationship is "animal to its home." bird → nest, so horse → stable.

Question 6Visual Spatial

The two designs combine into one. Which answer shows the bottom two designs combined?

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

Correct answer: A

Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives A. The others: B loses one mark in the merge; C keeps only the marks the designs share; D keeps only the second design; E the merged design slid one place.

Question 7Fluid Reasoning

Look at how the first figure changes into the second. Which answer changes the bottom figure the same way?

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

Correct answer: D

In the top row, the figure shrinks and a smaller copy appears inside. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; B applies only one of the two changes; C right change, wrong figure shape; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.

Question 8Quantitative Reasoning
What number comes next? 35, 33, 31, 29, ___
  1. A29
  2. B27
  3. C30
