What this section trains
Check one feature at a time: turning, mirroring, number of sides, size, shading and position.
For number and letter series, write the differences between items. Many rules are a steady step, a doubling, or two steps that take turns.
Turn letters into their place in the alphabet (A = 1, B = 2). A letter series then becomes a number series.
If two options both look right, look for a second rule you have missed, such as a count that also changes.
Do not spend half your time on one question. Pick your best answer and move on.
