Shading & Design
Many of the questions in the non-verbal reasoning paper will require you to look closely at the way in which shapes have been shaded, or the patterns that the shapes contain.

Question
- Does image A, B, C or D complete the grid?

Start with the first sequence
- The pattern used to make the sequence in the first line of the grid will help us find the missing image.

Confirm the pattern for third sequence
- We need to confirm that the pattern in the third sequence is the same as the pattern in the first sequence.

Confirm the pattern ✅
- We see that the third sequence follows the same pattern as the first sequence.

Consider the second sequence
- Now we use the pattern we found for the other sequences to work out what would complete the grid.

Compare with answers
- Image B is the correct answer as it has two shapes with dots, two shapes with lines, and the shapes on the bottom row are unique to the sequence.
