CogAT Nonverbal Figure Matrices 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a figure matrix, the top row shows a small circle then a large circle, and the bottom row shows a small square then a blank. What completes the pattern?
- A large square (Correct answer)
- A small square
- A large circle
- A small triangle
Correct answer: A large square
The rule is 'gets larger,' so the small square becomes a large square.
Question 2: A matrix shows shapes rotating 90 degrees clockwise across each row. If the bottom-left figure is an arrow pointing up, what should the missing bottom-right figure show?
- Arrow pointing right (Correct answer)
- Arrow pointing up
- Arrow pointing down
- Arrow pointing left
Correct answer: Arrow pointing right
A 90-degree clockwise rotation turns an up arrow into a right arrow.
Question 3: Each cell in a matrix adds one dot as you move right. The bottom row shows 2 dots then a blank. What belongs in the blank?
- 3 dots (Correct answer)
- 2 dots
- 4 dots
- 1 dot
Correct answer: 3 dots
The count increases by one each step, so 2 dots becomes 3 dots.
Question 4: A matrix shows a figure that changes color from white to black across the row. If the bottom-left shape is a white star, what is the missing bottom-right shape?
- A black star (Correct answer)
- A white star
- A black circle
- A gray star
Correct answer: A black star
The shape stays the same but the color flips from white to black.
Question 5: In a matrix, each figure gains one extra side as you move down a column. A triangle is on top and a square is in the middle. What is at the bottom?
- A pentagon (Correct answer)
- A hexagon
- A circle
- A square
Correct answer: A pentagon
Adding one side to a square (4 sides) gives a pentagon (5 sides).
Question 6: A matrix shows shapes flipping to their mirror image across each row. If the bottom-left is a backward letter L, what is the missing figure?
- A forward letter L (Correct answer)
- A backward letter L
- A letter T
- An upside-down L
Correct answer: A forward letter L
A mirror flip reverses the backward L into a forward L.
Question 7: Each row of a matrix combines the two left figures into one. The bottom row shows a circle and a dot inside. What is the combined missing figure?
- A circle with a dot inside (Correct answer)
- An empty circle
- A dot only
- A square with a dot
Correct answer: A circle with a dot inside
The combine rule merges both elements into a single figure.
