Answer Key — CCAT Grade 6

1. E — Revision polishes rough writing.
2. C — All three are spring flowers grown from bulbs, and so is a hyacinth. The others are not flowering bulbs.
3. D — Each number is squared. 3 × 3 = 9.
4. A — To balance the equation, ? must equal 161 − 96 = 65.
5. A — Each number is multiplied by 2. 16 × 2 = 32.
6. B — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside and the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies only one of the two changes; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
7. B — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 4 punches through 4 layers leaves 16 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A treated the mirror as a slide — hole positions right, orientation never flips; C doubled the count without the on-crease merge; D shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; E mirrored across the wrong axis.
8. B — What the three figures share: all figures share the same fill. B shares it too. The others don't: A does not share the property; C matches the shapes but not the shared fill; D solid black instead of the shared property; E repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property.
9. D — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." puppy → dog, so acorn → oak.
10. A — Tree barriers reduce noise.
11. C — All three are contagious diseases, and so is chickenpox. The others cannot be caught from another person.
12. E — Each number is multiplied by 3. 7 × 3 = 21.
13. E — First find ● = 7. Then ? = 7 × 3 = 21.
14. B — Each number is multiplied by 2. 32 × 2 = 64.
15. D — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step 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 only one of the two changes; B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E applies the change twice.
16. C — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 4 punches through 4 layers leaves 16 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; B doubled the count without the on-crease merge; D mirrored across the wrong axis; E treated the mirror as a slide — hole positions right, orientation never flips.
17. E — What the three figures share: every figure is an outline (unfilled). E shares it too. The others don't: A solid black instead of the shared property; B matches the shapes but not the shared fill; C does not share the property; D repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property.
18. C — The relationship is "part to its whole." tooth → comb, so wing → bird.
19. A — Statistics support a claim with evidence.
20. E — All three are units of weight, and so is the kilogram. Yard, quart, acre and minute measure other things.
