Read Group figures into classes by shared visual property
This SOF ICSO sample tests: Group nine given figures into three classes of three, based on shared identical properties. Read the idea first, then use the method below before you solve.
Reasoning questions are solved by converting each clue or visual feature into a consistent rule, then testing that rule against every option.
Find the tested idea
Turn the clues or figure into small labelled steps before looking at the options.
Work from the evidence
Start from one confirmed clue, record every change once, then eliminate an option as soon as it breaks that rule.
Verify before choosing
Read the wording, figure and all answer choices exactly as given. Select an option only after it satisfies every stated condition.
