Answer Key — CCAT Grade 3

1. B — In the top row, the figure shrinks. 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 a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; E right change, wrong figure shape.
2. A — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. A shares it too. The others don't: B does not share the property; C does not share the property; D a different shape from the shared one; E solid black instead of the shared property.
3. D — The relationship is "opposites." full → empty, so young → old.
4. D — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." chef → kitchen, so pilot → cockpit.
5. B — The pattern subtracts 2 each time. 34 − 2 = 32.
6. A — Each number decreases by 3. 8 − 3 = 5.
7. A — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E applies the change twice.
8. D — What the three figures share: all figures share the same fill. D shares it too. The others don't: A repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; B does not share the property; C does not share the property; E solid black instead of the shared property.
9. C — The relationship is "animal to the sound it makes." sheep → baa, so cow → moo.
10. D — The relationship is "action to its opposite." sit → stand, so whisper → shout.
11. C — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 30 − 6 = 24.
12. D — Each number increases by 5. 4 + 5 = 9.
13. D — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E applies the change twice.
14. D — What the three figures share: all figures share the same fill. D shares it too. The others don't: A matches the shapes but not the shared fill; B does not share the property; C repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property; E solid black instead of the shared property.
15. C — The relationship is "part to its whole." leaf → plant, so petal → flower.
16. B — The relationship is "action to its opposite." win → lose, so laugh → cry.
17. C — The pattern subtracts 2 each time. 28 − 2 = 26.
18. D — Each number increases by 1. 12 + 1 = 13.
19. D — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A right change, wrong figure shape; B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
20. E — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. E shares it too. The others don't: A a different shape from the shared one; B solid black instead of the shared property; C does not share the property; D does not share the property.
