  1. In the BARB Letter Checking subtest, you are shown two sets of letter pairs. How many pairs match? Set A: AB CD EF | Set B: AB CE EF

    Answer: 2

    AB matches AB and EF matches EF, giving 2 matching pairs.

  2. In the BARB Letter Checking task, which answer correctly counts the matching pairs? Set A: XY PQ RS | Set B: XY PQ RT

    All three pairs — LM, NP, and QR — are identical, giving 3 matches.

  4. How many pairs match? Set A: GH JK LM | Set B: GI JK LN

    Answer: 1

    Only JK matches JK; GH ≠ GI and LM ≠ LN, so just 1 match — wait, only JK matches, giving 1.

  5. What score represents the maximum possible matching pairs in a single BARB Letter Checking item?
