- A. Solid arrow pointing up at centre
- B. Solid arrow pointing right at centre
- C. Solid arrow pointing down at centre
- D. Solid arrow pointing left at centre
Explanation: The arrow points up, right, down and left in order. It therefore turns back to the upward position next.
Correct answer: Solid arrow pointing up at centre- A. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom left
- B. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom right
- C. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at middle right
- D. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The dots occupy successive outer-ring cells: top left, top centre, top right and middle right.
Correct answer: Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom right- A. Solid square at top left
- B. Square at top centre
- C. Square at top left
- D. Square at bottom right
Explanation: The square moves from top left to top right, bottom right and bottom left, so it returns to top left.
Correct answer: Square at top left- A. Star at centre

- B. Solid triangle pointing down-left at centre
- C. Solid triangle pointing down at centre
- D. Solid triangle pointing right at centre
Explanation: The triangle stays in the centre and remains solid, but its direction turns 45 degrees clockwise each time.
Correct answer: Solid triangle pointing down at centre- A. Small dot at centre; small dot at middle left; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom centre

- D. Small dot at centre; small dot at middle left; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom centre; small dot at top centre; small dot at bottom left
Explanation: The number of dots increases from one to four, and no existing dot moves.
Correct answer: Small dot at centre; small dot at middle left; small dot at middle right; small dot at bottom centre; small dot at top centre- A. Semicircle pointing up at middle left
- B. Solid semicircle pointing up at middle left
- C. Semicircle pointing up at bottom left
- D. Semicircle pointing right at middle left
Explanation: The positions move from middle right to top right, top centre, and top left, which is anticlockwise around the ring.
Correct answer: Semicircle pointing up at middle left- A. Small solid pentagon at bottom centre; small solid triangle pointing right at top centre
- B. Small solid pentagon at bottom centre; small solid triangle pointing up at top centre
- C. Small solid pentagon at bottom left; small solid triangle pointing right at top centre
- D. Small half-shaded pentagon, shaded down-left at bottom centre; small solid triangle pointing right at top centre
Explanation: The pentagon next reaches bottom centre, turns to 225 degrees, and changes to solid.
Correct answer: Small solid pentagon at bottom centre; small solid triangle pointing right at top centre- A. Semicircle pointing down at centre
- B. Semicircle pointing down-left at centre
- C. Semicircle pointing right at centre
- D. Semicircle pointing up at centre
Explanation: The semicircle rotates by the same 45 degree amount in each panel. After 135 degrees, the next direction is 180 degrees, with the dome…
Correct answer: Semicircle pointing down at centre- A. Solid circle at top left; pentagon at top right
- B. Solid circle at top left; pentagon at bottom right
- C. Solid circle at top right; pentagon at bottom left
- D. Solid circle at bottom right; pentagon at top right
Explanation: The circle travels from top left to top right, bottom right and bottom left.
Correct answer: Solid circle at top left; pentagon at top right- A. Solid arrow pointing down at bottom left; small dot at top right
- B. Solid arrow pointing down-right at bottom left; small dot at top right
- C. Solid arrow pointing down at bottom left; small dot at top centre
- D. Solid arrow pointing down at bottom centre; small dot at top right
Explanation: The arrow positions move from top right to middle right, bottom right and bottom centre, so it next reaches bottom left.
Correct answer: Solid arrow pointing down at bottom left; small dot at top right- A. Solid hexagon at bottom centre; half-shaded triangle pointing right at middle right
- B. Solid hexagon at bottom centre; half-shaded triangle pointing right at middle right
- C. Half-shaded hexagon, shaded down-left at bottom centre; half-shaded triangle pointing right at middle right
- D. Solid hexagon at bottom left; half-shaded triangle pointing right at middle right
Explanation: The hexagon next moves from bottom right to bottom centre, turns to 225 degrees and changes from half to solid.
Correct answer: Solid hexagon at bottom centre; half-shaded triangle pointing right at middle right- A. Large pentagon at centre
- B. Large half-shaded pentagon, shaded up at centre
- C. Large solid pentagon at centre
- D. Large half-shaded pentagon, shaded up-right at centre

Correct answer: Large half-shaded pentagon, shaded up at centre- A. Circle at centre
- B. Half-shaded circle, shaded up at centre
- C. Circle at top centre
- D. Small dot at centre
Explanation: The position and shape remain unchanged. The fill switches from outline to solid and back again, so the next figure must be the outline…
