UMAT Abstract Reasoning

Question 1

In an abstract sequence: ○ △ □ ○ △ □ ○ △ __ — what shape comes next?

Accepted Answer

□

Answer

The sequence repeats the pattern ○ △ □, so after ○ △ the next shape is □.

Question 2

A series shows figures with an increasing number of sides: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Heptagon (7-sided)

Answer

The pattern adds one side per step: 3, 4, 5, 6 — the next shape has 7 sides, a heptagon.

Question 3

Each figure in a matrix rotates 90° clockwise. If the first figure points up (↑), what is the third figure's orientation?

Accepted Answer

↓ (down)

Answer

Starting at ↑, one 90° clockwise rotation gives →, two gives ↓, so the third figure points down.

Question 4

In a 2×2 matrix of shapes, the top row shows: large circle, small circle; the bottom-left shows: large square. Applying the same size transformation rule, what is the bottom-right shape?

Accepted Answer

Small square

Answer

The rule transforms large shapes to small shapes across the row, so the large square transforms to a small square.

Question 5

A sequence of shaded grids shows: 1 shaded cell, 2 shaded cells, 4 shaded cells, 8 shaded cells. How many cells are shaded in the next figure?

Accepted Answer

16

Answer

The number of shaded cells doubles each step: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.
