Answer Key — Raven's Matrices Grade 6

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