Answer Key — Raven's Matrices Grade 5

1. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A a figure that breaks the cycle; C the right figure with the wrong fill; D copies the far corner; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
2. A — In the top row, the figure grows and 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
3. E — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. E lines up exactly. The others don't: A the pattern too tightly packed; B the right patch mirrored; C shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; D the pattern at the wrong size.
4. D — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies the change twice; E applies only one of the two changes.
5. C — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding two places every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: C. The others: A repeats the figure above the empty cell; B a figure that breaks the cycle; D the right figure at the wrong size; E the right figure with the wrong fill.
6. B — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure shrinks. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies only one of the two changes; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule.
7. C — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. C lines up exactly. The others don't: A the pattern too tightly packed; B the patch from the wrong place in the pattern; D shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; E the right patch turned a quarter-turn.
8. A — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure doubles. 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 only one of the two changes; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
9. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; C a figure that breaks the cycle; D the right figure at the wrong size; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
10. A — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure shrinks. 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 only one of the two changes; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
11. A — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. A lines up exactly. The others don't: B shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; C the pattern too tightly packed; D the right patch turned a quarter-turn; E the right patch mirrored.
12. A — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure grows. 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 a different rule than the top row shows; D applies only one of the two changes; E applies the change twice.
13. C — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding one place every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: C. The others: A a figure that breaks the cycle; B the right figure at the wrong size; D the right figure with the wrong fill; E repeats the figure beside the empty cell.
14. C — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure doubles. 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 only one of the two changes; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E applies the change twice.
15. A — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. A lines up exactly. The others don't: B shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; C the right patch turned a quarter-turn; D the right patch mirrored; E the pattern too tightly packed.
16. B — 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 B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies the change twice; C right change, wrong figure shape; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
17. B — Each row holds the same three figures, sliding two places every row — so every row and every column contains each figure exactly once. The empty corner's row and column are both missing the same figure: B. The others: A the right figure with the wrong fill; C the right figure at the wrong size; D repeats the figure above the empty cell; E a figure that breaks the cycle.
18. E — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives E. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies only one of the two changes; B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D the bottom figure with no rule applied.
19. B — Follow the pattern's rows and columns into the hole: the missing piece must continue them without a jump. B lines up exactly. The others don't: A the pattern at the wrong size; C shifted sideways off the pattern's rhythm; D the right patch turned a quarter-turn; E the right patch mirrored.
20. A — In the top row, the figure shrinks and a smaller copy appears inside. 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
