WISC-V Practice Pack — Grade 1

Answer Key — WISC-V Grade 1

1. 1. 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C the bottom figure with no rule applied.
2. 2. C — The rods show 1, ?, 5, 7: each rod has 2 beads more than the one before. So the empty rod has 3 beads. The others: A stops one bead short; B copies the rod before the gap instead of continuing the pattern.
3. 3. A — pear, coconut, peach are all fruits. So is watermelon — answer A. The other pictures are not fruits.
4. 4. C — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 10 coloured squares in the finished picture.
5. 5. 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 applies a different rule than the top row shows; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
6. 6. B — The top row goes from 7 to 8: one more. Doing the same to 1 gives 2. The others: A copies the top row's answer; C one too few.
7. 7. A — sun goes with snowflake because the first one goes with the second the way hot goes with cold. In the same way fire goes with ice cream — answer A. The other pictures do not go with fire that way.
8. 8. D — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 9 coloured squares in the finished picture.
9. 9. 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 the bottom figure with no rule applied; C right change, wrong figure shape.
10. 10. A — 4 + 1 = 5. The others: B counts only the second group; C counts only the first group.
11. 11. A — duck, turtle, boat are all things that travel on water. So is fish — answer A. The other pictures are not things that travel on water.
12. 12. A — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 10 coloured squares in the finished picture.
13. 13. 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B applies a different rule than the top row shows.
14. 14. C — The rods show 8, 5, ?, 5: the rods take turns: 8, 5, 8, 5. So the empty rod has 8 beads. The others: A one bead too many; B copies the rod before the gap, which breaks the repeating pattern.
15. 15. B — magnifier goes with ant because you use the first one with the second. In the same way fishing goes with fish — answer B. The other pictures do not go with fishing that way.
16. 16. D — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 6 coloured squares in the finished picture.
17. 17. B — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A the bottom figure with no rule applied; C right change, wrong figure shape.
18. 18. A — The top row goes from 4 to 6: two more. Doing the same to 3 gives 5. The others: B one too few; C copies the top row's answer.
19. 19. C — whale, shark, dolphin are all animals that live in the water. So is snail — answer C. The other pictures are not animals that live in the water.
20. 20. D — Put the two pieces one on top of the other, keeping every square that is coloured in EITHER piece. Counting square by square gives 7 coloured squares in the finished picture.
