Likely Topics Covered in GL 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning

Here is a list of the typical topics included in GL non-verbal reasoning exams:

  1. Odd One Out

    • Identifying the shape or image that is different from the others in a group.

  2. Sequences and Patterns

    • Recognising patterns and predicting the next shape or image in a sequence.

  3. Analogies

    • Finding relationships between pairs of shapes or images and applying the same logic to complete the analogy.

  4. Symmetry

    • Identifying shapes or images that are symmetrical or determining the line of symmetry.

  5. Rotation and Reflection

    • Understanding how shapes look when rotated or reflected in a mirror.

  6. Matrices

    • Completing grids of images by identifying the pattern or relationship among them.

  7. Shape Construction

    • Assembling or deconstructing shapes to determine the resulting figure.

  8. 3D Spatial Reasoning

    • Visualising three-dimensional shapes from two-dimensional representations.

  9. Codes and Decoding

    • Interpreting visual codes and translating them into a meaningful answer.

  10. Combining Shapes

    • Identifying which shapes can combine to form a particular figure or identifying which shapes are part of a larger figure.
