In Odd Shape Out questions you are given a set of shapes (usually five) and you must find the one that does not belong. The other shapes all share a common rule — one shape breaks it. This question type tests your ability to spot similarities and differences quickly.
CEM exams can use shapes that look unfamiliar or complex, but the underlying rules are always about the same set of properties. Let us work through them.
