Answer Key — Gifted Screening Kindergarten

1. A — Each number increases by 5. 5 + 5 = 10.
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 right change, wrong figure shape; B applies the change twice.
3. C — hamburger, milk, pizza are all things you eat for a meal. So is egg — answer C. The other pictures are not things you eat for a meal.
4. C — The top row goes from 4 to 6: two more. Doing the same to 1 gives 3. The others: A copies the top row's answer; B leaves the bottom group unchanged.
5. C — Each number increases by 1. 3 + 1 = 4.
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 right change, wrong figure shape; C applies a different rule than the top row shows.
7. C — sun goes with moon because the first one belongs to the day the way the second belongs to the night. In the same way rooster goes with owl — answer C. The other pictures do not go with rooster that way.
8. B — The rods show 5, 4, 3, ?: each rod has 1 bead fewer than the one before. So the next rod has 2 beads. The others: A goes one bead too far; C copies the rod before the gap instead of continuing the pattern.
9. C — Each number increases by 1. 4 + 1 = 5.
10. B — In the top row, the figure shrinks. 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 right change, wrong figure shape.
11. C — cheese, pizza, milk are all things you eat for a meal. So is egg — answer C. The other pictures are not things you eat for a meal.
12. C — 5 + 1 = 6. The others: A counts only the second group; B counts only the first group.
13. B — Each number increases by 3. 4 + 3 = 7.
14. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
15. B — telescope goes with moon because you use the first one to look at the second. In the same way microscope goes with ant — answer B. The other pictures do not go with microscope that way.
16. B — The top row goes from 2 to 3: one more. Doing the same to 3 gives 4. The others: A one too many; C takes away instead of adding.
17. A — Each number increases by 3. 3 + 3 = 6.
18. 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; C the bottom figure with no rule applied.
19. C — elephant, lion, monkey are all wild animals. So is zebra — answer C. The other pictures are not wild animals.
20. C — 2 + 1 = 3, so the empty box needs 1 shape. The others: A repeats the group that is already there; B counts the whole right side instead of the missing part.
