Answer Key — Gifted Screening Grade 8

  1. 1. C — Each number is squared. 12 × 12 = 144.
  2. 2. A — In the top row, the figure shrinks and the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D applies only one of the two changes; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
  3. 3. D — The relationship is "part to its whole." room → house, so wheel → car.
  4. 4. B — These are square numbers: 3², 4², … Next is 7² = 49.
  5. 5. C — Each number is squared. 8 × 8 = 64.
  6. 6. A — In the top row, the figure doubles and the figure grows. 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 applies only one of the two changes; E right change, wrong figure shape.
  7. 7. C — The relationship is "part to its whole." finger → hand, so leaf → plant.
  8. 8. B — The amount added grows by 1 each step. Adding 5 to 12 gives 17.
  9. 9. B — Each number is squared. 1 × 1 = 1.
  10. 10. B — 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 B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies the change twice; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; D applies only one of the two changes; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
  11. 11. A — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." egg → chick, so bud → flower.
  12. 12. C — The amount added grows by 1 each step. Adding 5 to 10 gives 15.
  13. 13. A — Each number is squared. 6 × 6 = 36.
  14. 14. E — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure shrinks. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives E. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies the change twice; B right change, wrong figure shape; C the bottom figure with no rule applied; D applies only one of the two changes.
  15. 15. B — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." pilot → cockpit, so baker → bakery.
  16. 16. A — The amount added grows by 1 each step. Adding 4 to 11 gives 15.
  17. 17. C — Each number is squared. 12 × 12 = 144.
  18. 18. A — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside and 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 applies the change twice; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
  19. 19. B — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." puppy → dog, so tadpole → frog.
  20. 20. C — Each number is multiplied by 2. 8 × 2 = 16.
