Answer Key — OLSAT Grade 3

1. A — The pattern adds 3 each time. 18 + 3 = 21.
2. C — Each step, one more shape appears each time. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A steps backward in the series; B repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; D the right step on the wrong shape; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
3. B — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." actor → stage, so judge → court.
4. B — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 17 − 7 = 10.
5. A — Each step, the fill moves one step through the cycle (light to dark, then starting over). Continuing one more step gives A. The others: B the right step on the wrong shape; C repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; D jumps two steps ahead; E steps backward in the series.
6. D — The relationship is "opposites." high → low, so near → far.
7. A — The pattern subtracts 4 each time. 23 − 4 = 19.
8. D — Each step, the fill moves one step through the cycle (light to dark, then starting over). Continuing one more step gives D. The others: A the right step on the wrong shape; B jumps two steps ahead; C repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; E steps backward in the series.
9. B — The relationship is "part to its whole." tooth → comb, so leaf → plant.
10. C — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 28 − 7 = 21.
11. C — Each step, the figure turns a quarter-turn each time. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A jumps two steps ahead; B repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; D the right figure with the wrong fill; E the right step on the wrong shape.
12. D — The relationship is "opposites." fast → slow, so up → down.
13. A — The pattern subtracts 5 each time. 29 − 5 = 24.
14. C — Each step, the fill moves one step through the cycle (light to dark, then starting over). Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A jumps two steps ahead; B repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; D the right step on the wrong shape; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
15. C — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." cub → bear, so acorn → oak.
16. A — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 19 − 6 = 13.
17. C — Each step, one more shape appears each time. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; B steps backward in the series; D the right step on the wrong shape; E repeats the last figure instead of stepping on.
18. B — The relationship is "body part to what it does." eyes → see, so nose → smell.
19. A — The pattern subtracts 4 each time. 26 − 4 = 22.
20. D — Each step, the figure turns a quarter-turn each time. Continuing one more step gives D. The others: A jumps two steps ahead; B repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; C the right step on the wrong shape; E steps backward in the series.
