Answer Key — Gifted Screening Grade 1

1. A — Each number increases by 2. 3 + 2 = 5.
2. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; B right change, wrong figure shape.
3. B — orange, mango, watermelon are all fruits. So is cherry — answer B. The other pictures are not fruits.
4. B — The rods show 1, 5, ?, 5, 1: the rods take turns: 1, 5, 1, 5. So the empty rod has 1 bead. The others: A copies the rod before the gap, which breaks the repeating pattern; C one bead too many.
5. A — Each number increases by 2. 5 + 2 = 7.
6. A — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C the bottom figure with no rule applied.
7. C — sun goes with snowflake because the first one goes with the second the way hot goes with cold. In the same way fire goes with ice cream — answer C. The other pictures do not go with fire that way.
8. C — The left side has 1 + 5 = 6. The right side already has 4, so it needs 2 more. The others: A counts the whole left side instead of what is missing on the right; B one too many.
9. C — Each number increases by 2. 4 + 2 = 6.
10. 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
11. A — carrot, tomato, potato are all vegetables. So is corn — answer A. The other pictures are not vegetables.
12. A — The top row goes from 1 to 3: two more. Doing the same to 4 gives 6. The others: B takes away instead of adding; C one too many.
13. B — Each number increases by 1. 2 + 1 = 3.
14. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; C right change, wrong figure shape.
15. C — egg goes with chick because the first one grows into the second. In the same way seedling goes with sunflower — answer C. The other pictures do not go with seedling that way.
16. A — The rods show 3, 6, 3, ?: the rods take turns: 3, 6, 3, 6. So the next rod has 6 beads. The others: B one bead too many; C copies the rod before the gap, which breaks the repeating pattern.
17. B — Each number increases by 1. 2 + 1 = 3.
18. 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.
19. A — fishing, hockey, swimming are all things people do to keep fit. So is running — answer A. The other pictures are not things people do to keep fit.
20. B — 4 + 1 = 5, so the empty box needs 4 shapes. The others: A one too few; C counts the whole right side instead of the missing part.
