The students are encouraged to use their patterning skills to anticipate, and then select, the string of beads that follows in the sequence. Number Series – Each question shows an abacus with a bead pattern.This section includes 10 questions and takes 11 minutes. Their task is to select the answer choice that makes the second train carry the same number of objects as the first train. The first train is carrying a specific number of red dots. Number Puzzles – During this section students are presented with a visual of two trains.Like the verbal battery, this section consists of 14 questions and takes 13 minutes. From there they must find an answer that models the same relationship to the initial image set. Students are then directed to the image in the bottom row. Number Analogies – These questions require the same thought processes as Picture Analogies, as students must identify the mathematical relationship between the images in the top row.This section is composed of 14 questions and takes approximately 14 minutes to complete. Then, they must choose the 1 picture, or word, on the bottom that belongs in the same group. Picture Classification – Students will examine 3 pictures or words on top and determine their relationship to one another.This section is made up of 14 questions and takes approximately 14 minutes. Following this step, they will then select the word that best finishes the sentence. Sentence Completion – Depending on the age of the child, students will either be read, or required to listen to a sentence or question.This section is made up of 14 questions and takes 15 minutes to complete. The objective is to ensure that the pictures on the bottom have a parallel relationship to the pictures on top. Once they complete this initial step, they can examine the picture on the bottom before looking at their answer choices. This way, they can understand the structural relationship between the two images. Students are encouraged to begin by looking at the 2 pictures on top. They must find the relationship between the items on top, and then find an that relates to the item in the bottom box.
Picture Analogies – These visual based questions are structured as a 2×2 matrix with 3 pictures and 1 empty cell.
