Analogies 3

Non-verbal reasoning helps you solve visual puzzles. This quiz focuses on analogies, where you identify how one shape relates to another using logic and observation.

Fascinating Fact:

Gardeners use shape and pattern analogies when arranging plants in similar shapes or repeating designs.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils learn to recognise visual relationships between shapes, patterns, and positions. These questions train logical thinking and help children develop problem-solving skills through images instead of words.

Key Terms

Analogy: A question that compares two pairs of shapes to show a shared relationship.
Rotation: Turning a shape around a central point without changing its size or form.
Reflection: A mirror image of a shape, often flipped across a line or axis.

Parents can find recommended practice resources and study advice in our helpful guide: Courses and Materials for the 11 Plus – A Guide for Parents.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are analogy questions in non-verbal reasoning?

Analogy questions compare two pairs of shapes. You must identify the rule linking the first pair and find a second pair that follows the same rule.

How can I get better at non-verbal reasoning analogies?

Practise by identifying changes in shape, size, shading, or rotation. Spotting these patterns helps you quickly recognise relationships in test questions.

Why is non-verbal reasoning important in the 11 Plus?

Non-verbal reasoning builds logical and spatial skills, helping pupils solve unfamiliar problems independently – useful in maths, science, and everyday thinking.
