Answer Key — CCAT Kindergarten

1. C — taxi is something that drives on a road — answer C. The other pictures are not.
2. C — bird, rabbit, fish are all animals people keep as pets. So is cat — answer C. The other pictures are not animals people keep as pets.
3. B — The top row goes from 5 to 4 — one fewer. Doing the same to 3 gives 2. The others: A one too few; C copies the top row's answer.
4. B — 2 + 2 = 4, so the empty box needs 2 shapes. The others: A counts the whole right side instead of the missing part; C one too many.
5. A — The rods show 1, 2, 3, 4 beads — 1 bead more each time. The next rod has 5. The others: B stops one bead short; C goes one bead too far.
6. C — In the top row, 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; B applies the change twice.
7. B — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 1 punch through 2 layers leaves 2 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A one hole drifted off its mirrored position; C mirrored across the wrong axis.
8. A — What the three figures share: all figures share the same fill. A shares it too. The others don't: B solid black instead of the shared property; C repeats an exemplar's shape but breaks the shared property.
9. B — fishing goes with fish because you use the first one with the second. In the same way pencil goes with notebook — answer B. The other pictures do not go with pencil that way.
10. A — kite is something that flies — answer A. The other pictures are not.
11. B — rabbit, cat, fish are all animals people keep as pets. So is dog — answer B. The other pictures are not animals people keep as pets.
12. A — The top row goes from 4 to 5 — one more. Doing the same to 2 gives 3. The others: B copies the top row's answer; C leaves the bottom group unchanged.
13. C — 4 + 1 = 5, so the empty box needs 1 shape. The others: A counts the whole right side instead of the missing part; B repeats the group that is already there.
14. A — The rods show 6, 5, 4, 3 beads — 1 bead fewer each time. The next rod has 2. The others: B goes one bead too far; C repeats the last rod instead of continuing.
15. C — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B applies a different rule than the top row shows.
16. C — Unfold the paper step by step, mirroring every hole across each crease in reverse order. 1 punch through 2 layers leaves 2 holes. The other sheets each draw a specific mistake: A shows only the punched folded sheet — never unfolded the paper; B mirrored across the wrong axis.
17. C — What the three figures share: all figures are the same shape. C shares it too. The others don't: A a different shape from the shared one; B does not share the property.
18. B — firetruck goes with fire because the first one comes when there is the second. In the same way umbrella goes with cloud — answer B. The other pictures do not go with umbrella that way.
19. B — clipboard is something you use at school — answer B. The other pictures are not.
20. C — rose, sunflower, flower are all plants and trees. So is palmtree — answer C. The other pictures are not plants and trees.
