Know the rule families
Nearly every matrix-reasoning question — whichever test you're facing — is built from a handful of recurring rule types. Learn to recognise them and you'll solve most puzzles in seconds.
Progression
Something changes step by step along the row or column: an element is added or removed, or the figure grows, shrinks, or changes colour.
Rotation
The figure turns by a fixed angle with every step. Work out the direction and the angle, then picture the last figure turned once more.
Frequency
The order of the figures doesn't matter — what matters is how often each feature appears in a row or column: shapes, colours, alignments or quantities.
Construction
Two cells combine into the third. In harder versions the combination has extra logic — for example, overlapping parts cancel each other out.
Motion
Objects change position inside the cell with each step. Track each object's direction and distance — different objects can follow different movement rules.
Complex questions
Several rules operate at once — and some elements may be pure decoys. If one rule doesn't explain everything, look for a second (or third) before answering.
