Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Line and Angle Patterns 3

Question 1

In RPM, a line completes a full 360° rotation across 4 cells (one per cell). What is the per-cell rotation increment?

Accepted Answer

90°

Answer

60°

Answer

72°

Answer

120°

Question 2

An RPM matrix row has lines at 10°, 20°, and 40°. Which description best fits this sequence?

Accepted Answer

Geometric — each angle doubles

Answer

Arithmetic — constant difference of 10°

Answer

Alternating — switches between two values

Answer

Random — no clear rule applies

Question 3

In a 3×3 RPM matrix, cells along the main diagonal (top-left to bottom-right) show lines at 0°, 60°, and 120°. What angle would logically continue this diagonal pattern?

Accepted Answer

180°

Answer

150°

Answer

160°

Answer

240°

Question 4

When two lines in an RPM cell form an angle of 40°, what is the complementary angle?

Accepted Answer

50°

Answer

40°

Answer

140°

Answer

320°

Question 5

An RPM matrix has lines that alternate between acute angles (less than 90°) and obtuse angles (greater than 90°) across each row. Which pattern does this represent?

Accepted Answer

Alternating angle pattern

Answer

Constant angle pattern

Answer

Geometric progression

Answer

Cumulative rotation pattern

Question 6

In solving RPM angle problems, which strategy is most effective when angles appear complex or irregular?

Accepted Answer

Check each row and each column independently for a consistent rule

Answer

Guess based on overall appearance of the matrix

Answer

Focus only on the bottom row to find the missing piece

Answer

Always assume a 90° rotation per step

Question 7

A matrix shows lines progressing through 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 150°, and 180° across cells. After 180°, the next line would logically appear at 0° because:

Accepted Answer

A line at 180° is indistinguishable from a line at 0° (both are horizontal)

Answer

Lines cannot exceed 180° in RPM matrices

Answer

The pattern resets arbitrarily at 180°

Answer

180° is always the maximum angle used in RPM
