Abstract Reasoning
"Abstract Reasoning for College Entrance! Shapes, patterns, at visual logic - ito ang test ng spatial intelligence mo. Eyes wide open, beshy!"
1. Pattern Recognition 👁️
Types of transformations to look for:
- Rotation: Shape turns 90°, 180°, 270°
- Reflection: Mirror image (flip horizontal/vertical)
- Size change: Gets bigger/smaller
- Color/Shade change: Alternates or progresses
- Addition/Subtraction: Elements added or removed
- Movement: Shape moves within the frame
2. Matrix Patterns 📊
Look at rows AND columns for patterns:
- Each row may have a complete set of shapes
- Each column may follow a transformation rule
- Diagonal patterns may exist too
- Count elements in each cell
3. Odd One Out 🎯
Find the figure that doesn't belong:
Check for differences in:
- Number of sides
- Open vs closed shapes
- Curved vs straight lines
- Symmetry
- Direction/Orientation
4. Figure Assembly 🧩
Which pieces form the target shape?
- Mentally rotate pieces to fit
- Check if pieces overlap (they shouldn't)
- Verify total area matches
5. Tips & Strategies 💡
- Don't overthink: The pattern is usually simple
- Process of elimination: Cross out wrong answers
- Time management: Don't spend too long on one item
- Look for consistency: The rule applies to ALL figures
