OLSAT Practice Pack — Grade 5

Answer Key — OLSAT Grade 5

1. 1. B — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 24 − 6 = 18.
2. 2. B — Each step, the fill moves one step through the cycle (light to dark, then starting over). Continuing one more step gives B. The others: A repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; C jumps two steps ahead; D the right step on the wrong shape; E steps backward in the series.
3. 3. B — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." doctor → hospital, so teacher → school.
4. 4. B — The pattern subtracts 4 each time. 30 − 4 = 26.
5. 5. C — Each step, the figure alternates big and small. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; B the right figure with the wrong fill; D the right step on the wrong shape; E does not continue the series.
6. 6. A — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." pilot → cockpit, so actor → stage.
7. 7. C — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 17 − 6 = 11.
8. 8. 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 repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; B jumps two steps ahead; D the right step on the wrong shape; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
9. 9. C — The relationship is "member to its category." copper → metal, so sparrow → bird.
10. 10. C — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 17 − 7 = 10.
11. 11. C — Each step, the figure turns a quarter-turn each time. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A steps backward in the series; B jumps two steps ahead; D repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
12. 12. C — The relationship is "item to the room it belongs in." car → garage, so book → library.
13. 13. C — The pattern subtracts 4 each time. 28 − 4 = 24.
14. 14. C — Each step, the figure turns a quarter-turn each time. Continuing one more step gives C. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; B the right step on the wrong shape; D repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; E jumps two steps ahead.
15. 15. C — The relationship is "part to its whole." branch → tree, so finger → hand.
16. 16. B — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 19 − 6 = 13.
17. 17. E — Each step, the fill moves one step through the cycle (light to dark, then starting over). Continuing one more step gives E. The others: A the right step on the wrong shape; B repeats the last figure instead of stepping on; C jumps two steps ahead; D the right figure with the wrong fill.
18. 18. D — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." puppy → dog, so seed → plant.
19. 19. D — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 20 − 6 = 14.
20. 20. B — Each step, the figure turns a quarter-turn each time. Continuing one more step gives B. The others: A steps backward in the series; C the right figure with the wrong fill; D the right step on the wrong shape; E repeats the last figure instead of stepping on.
