How to approach the ABSTRACT REASONING on the UKCAT

How to approach the ABSTRACT REASONING on the UKCAT

1. Type and size of the objects

   • 1) Are all objects within the shape of the same type or different types?
     • 2) Are some objects of the same size or are they all of different sizes
       • 3) Is there one type of object that stands out in all shapes and could be a key object?
         • 4) Is there an object which consistently appears in each shape but with different colours and could be a key object?

2. Number of objects

   • 1) Is the number of objects the same in all shapes?
     • 2) Is the number of objects of one type the same in all shapes?
       • 3) Is there a relative relationship between two different type of objects? e.g. number of white shapes= number of black shapes + 1
         • 4) Is the number of objects of one type linked to feature of another object? e.g number of circles in one shape= number of sides in the other shape
