Subtest

Levels 5/6–8

Levels 9–17/18

Subtest 7: Figure Matrices

Each question shows a 2 x 2 matrix and requires the same process as the Number Analogies and Picture Analogies subtests but uses spatial forms.

This subtest requires that students infer and then apply a simple rule. Students must determine the relationship among the first two elements, apply this relationship to the third element in the matrix, and then select the figure that completes the relationship.

Subtest 8: Paper Folding

Students must imagine what happens to a piece of paper that is folded, usually cut in some way, and then unfolded. Then students select the answer choice that shows how the paper looks when it is opened.

Students must imagine what happens to a piece of paper that is folded, has holes punched in it, and then unfolded. Then students select the answer choice that shows how the paper looks when it is opened.

Subtest 9: Figure Classification

As on the Picture Classification subtest, students must infer how three objects or figures are similar and then select the picture that goes with the target set.

Students must determine how three figures are similar and then select the answer choice that is most like the first three figures.
