Free WISC-V practice test — Grade 8

10 original WISC-V-style questions for Grade 8, 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: FINGER is to HAND as ROOM is to ___
  1. Aguitar

The relationship is "part to its whole." finger → hand, so room → house.

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

Correct answer: D

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

Correct answer: C

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

In the top row, the figure shrinks and the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D applies only one of the two changes; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
