An analogy question shows you how one shape changes into another, and then asks you to apply the same change to a new shape. Think of it as "Shape A is to Shape B as Shape C is to ?" Your job is to work out the transformation and use it to find the answer.
Analogies are a popular question type across all 11+ exams, and CEM papers can make them especially challenging by using abstract shapes and multiple simultaneous changes.
You are given a pair of shapes (A and B) and a third shape (C). You need to find the shape that should go with C, based on the same relationship that connects A to B.
| Given pair | Your task |
|---|---|
| Shape A changes to Shape B | Shape C changes to ? |
| Shape A | Shape B | Shape C | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Large black circle | Small black circle | Large black square | Small black square |
Rule: The shape gets smaller. Everything else stays the same.
