11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning Pathway

See the rule, transform the image and reason with confidence

Learn each visual-reasoning family explicitly with Marina. Study how shape, position, rotation, reflection, shading, size and spatial relationships change, follow fully modelled examples, apply the method independently, then combine the topics in Mixed and Timed Practice.

➡️ Series & Sequences

Compare each shape with the next. Look for changes in rotation, position, shading, size, or extra parts. Apply the repeating rule to predict the missing shape.

Series & Sequences — Learn the visual method

Recognise the question, identify the changing features, and check your reasoning. Your first teaching stage is free.

Stage 1 · How to recognise the question

What should I look for?

1

A row of shapes changes step by step.

2

One shape is missing.

3

The same visual rule repeats.

Choosing the correct method

Marina's step-by-step strategy

Compare each neighbouring pair, name every change, then apply the same change once more.

Avoid the exam trap

The mistake to watch for

Do not track only one feature when two may change together.

Stage 1 · Recognise the visual question

How to recognise Series & Sequences

Compare each shape with the next. Look for changes in rotation, position, shading, size, or extra parts. Apply the repeating rule to predict the missing shape.
