Fascinating Fact:

Fashion designers use analogies when matching shapes and patterns to create symmetrical or balanced designs.

In 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning, pupils learn to recognise relationships between shapes, sequences, and patterns. Analogies teach logical reasoning – an essential skill for solving visual puzzles and understanding spatial rules.

Key Terms

Analogy: A question where you identify a link between pairs of shapes or figures.
Symmetry: When one half of a shape mirrors the other exactly.
Pattern: A repeated or organised design that follows a specific rule.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are analogies in non-verbal reasoning?

Analogies show how one pair of shapes is related and ask you to find another pair with the same type of relationship, such as rotation or size change.

How can I prepare for analogy questions in the 11 Plus?

Practise by comparing shapes, spotting similarities, and noticing small differences. Focus on rotation, shading, symmetry, and number of sides.

Why do 11 Plus tests include non-verbal reasoning?

Non-verbal reasoning checks how well pupils can understand visual information and solve logical problems – skills useful in maths, art, and design.
