Answer Key — Gifted Screening Grade 3

  1. 1. A — Each number decreases by 3. 4 − 3 = 1.
  2. 2. D — In the top row, the figure shrinks. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A right change, wrong figure shape; B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; E a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule.
  3. 3. C — The relationship is "part to its whole." leaf → plant, so wheel → car.
  4. 4. A — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 24 − 7 = 17.
  5. 5. B — Each number is doubled (×2). 6 × 2 = 12.
  6. 6. 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C right change, wrong figure shape; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E applies the change twice.
  7. 7. B — The relationship is "action to its opposite." whisper → shout, so win → lose.
  8. 8. B — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 13 − 6 = 7.
  9. 9. C — Each number increases by 3. 12 + 3 = 15.
  10. 10. 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 a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; D right change, wrong figure shape; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
  11. 11. A — The relationship is "thing to its usual color." cherry → red, so pumpkin → orange.
  12. 12. A — The pattern adds 5 each time. 21 + 5 = 26.
  13. 13. C — Each number is doubled (×2). 9 × 2 = 18.
  14. 14. A — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D right change, wrong figure shape; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
  15. 15. C — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." chef → kitchen, so actor → stage.
  16. 16. C — The pattern adds 7 each time. 24 + 7 = 31.
  17. 17. A — Each number increases by 1. 11 + 1 = 12.
  18. 18. C — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. 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 a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
  19. 19. B — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." tadpole → frog, so cub → bear.
  20. 20. B — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 17 − 7 = 10.
