Try a sample Reasoning question
Question 1 — Easy
Answer: The dot moves from the top-left position to the bottom-right position while the main shape stays the same. D is correct because the triangle keeps its shape and the dot moves to the matching bottom-right position. A leaves the dot in the old position. B changes the main shape. C changes the fill as well, which is not part of the rule.
Question 2 — Medium
Answer: The figure becomes solid and larger. A is correct.
Question 3 — Medium
Which figure is the odd one out?RSN-Y5-ODDONE-6023
Answer: Three varied figures are outline and use the same frame. The odd figure uses a different frame. B is correct.
How should my child prepare for Year 5 AAS Reasoning?
- ✓For abstract reasoning questions, encourage working with scratch paper — holding visual patterns in memory is harder than tracing them.
- ✓When your child gets one wrong, ask them to explain why each other option was wrong — that elimination skill is what the test rewards.
- ✓Aim for 10–15 minutes a day rather than long weekend sessions — consistency builds recall better than cramming.
- ✓Track which question types your child struggles with; spend extra time there rather than practising strengths.
