1. Figural Analogies

Grade 2 figural analogies question. A three-by-three orange and white grid rotates a quarter turn clockwise. A second orange and white grid must follow the same rule. Choices A through D show different grid arrangements.
Show answer and explanation for question 1

Answer B. The first grid rotates one quarter turn clockwise. Rotating the second grid the same way puts orange squares in the left and right corners, with the other squares matching B.

2. Figural Analogies

Grade 2 figural analogies question. A blue and white five-by-five checkerboard swaps its colors. A green and black three-by-three pattern must follow the same rule. Choices A through D show different color patterns.
Show answer and explanation for question 2

Answer A. Every blue square becomes white, and every white square becomes blue. Applying the same color swap to the green and black pattern makes each green square black and each black square green. This gives A.

3. Matrices

Grade 2 matrices question. An orange circle containing a green square becomes a green square containing an orange circle. A white circle containing a black pentagon must change in the same way. Choices A through D show different circle and pentagon arrangements.
Show answer and explanation for question 3

Answer C. The inner and outer shapes switch places while keeping their colors. The black pentagon moves outside, and the white circle moves inside it. This gives C.

4. Figural Analogies

Grade 2 figural analogies question. A green trapezoid containing a blue circle becomes a blue circle containing an upside-down green trapezoid. A black triangle containing an orange trapezoid must follow the same rule. Choices A through D show different shape, color, and direction combinations.
Show answer and explanation for question 4

Answer B. The inner and outer shapes switch places, then the shape moved inside flips vertically. The orange trapezoid moves outside, and the black triangle moves inside and points down. This gives B.

5. Figural Analogies

Grade 2 figural analogies question. A three-by-three circle pattern changes by swapping every filled blue circle with an empty circle. A second pattern must change by the same rule. Choices A through D show different filled-circle arrangements.
Show answer and explanation for question 5

Answer B. Every filled circle becomes empty, and every empty circle becomes filled. Applying that same reversal to the second pattern gives B.

6. Pattern Completion

Grade 2 pattern completion question. A repeating orange, green, and black triangle design has one rectangular piece missing. Choices A through D show different pattern fragments.
Show answer and explanation for question 6

Answer B. The diagonal bands and triangle colors must continue across the missing space. Only B connects the shapes and colors correctly at every edge.

7. Spatial Reasoning

Grade 2 spatial reasoning question. The shaded upper-left and lower-left quarters of two circles combine into a shaded left half. Below, squares with shaded upper-right and lower-right quarters must combine. A has the right half shaded, B the lower-right quarter, C the left half, and D the upper-right quarter.
Show answer and explanation for question 7

Answer A. The third box combines the shaded parts from the first two boxes. The two shaded left quarters form the left half of the circle. In the bottom row, the two shaded right quarters form the right half of the square. This gives A.

8. Spatial Reasoning

Grade 2 spatial reasoning question. The top row shows how a blue square and green sideways shape are rearranged. The bottom row has an orange arrow and black triangle. Choices A through D show different positions and rotations.
Show answer and explanation for question 8

Answer C. In the first pair, the second shape turns clockwise, combines with the first shape, and moves above it. Apply the same changes below: the triangle points right above the orange arrow. This gives C.
