Answer Key — CCAT Grade 2

1. E — Crayons are for drawing pictures.
2. A — All three have strings, and so does a banjo.
3. B — Each number increases by 1. 1 + 1 = 2.
4. A — Both sides must balance: 2 + 5 = 7, and 4 + 3 = 7 too.
5. D — The pattern adds 2 each time. 9 + 2 = 11.
6. B — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E right change, wrong figure shape.
7. A — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 2 punches through 4 layers leaves 8 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: B doubled the count without the on-crease merge; C shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; D mirrored across the wrong axis; E one hole drifted off its mirrored position.
8. A — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. A shares it too. The others don't: B a different shape from the shared one; C does not share the property; D does not share the property; E does not share the property.
9. C — The relationship is "tool to what it does." brush → paint, so pencil → write.
10. E — Drivers go slowly on icy roads to be safe.
11. A — All three are moving air, and so is a gale.
12. B — Each number decreases by 3. 6 − 3 = 3.
13. C — First find ★ = 13. Then ? = 13 + 20 = 33.
14. C — The pattern adds 8 each time. 31 + 8 = 39.
15. B — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; C the bottom figure with no rule applied; D right change, wrong figure shape; E copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
16. E — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 2 punches through 4 layers leaves 8 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A one hole drifted off its mirrored position; B shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; C doubled the count without the on-crease merge; D mirrored across the wrong axis.
17. E — What the three figures share: every figure has a dot above it. E shares it too. The others don't: A no dot above it; B the dot sits below instead of above; C repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; D solid black instead of the shared property.
18. B — The relationship is "tool to what it does." shovel → dig, so key → unlock.
19. E — A refrigerator keeps food fresh.
20. C — All three are metals, and so is iron.
