How well can your child spot the missing piece in a pattern?
That’s the challenge at the heart of the Figure Matrices section in the CogAT Grade 7 Nonverbal Battery.
In this section, students are shown a grid of shapes that follow a certain rule or transformation—such as rotation, reflection, shading, or size change. Their task is to identify the figure that correctly completes the pattern. It’s like solving a visual puzzle that trains the brain to think logically, not verbally.
The Gifted Test Prep App makes mastering Figure Matrices simple and engaging. With hundreds of structured questions, your child can practice recognizing visual relationships and applying logical reasoning—two skills essential for excelling in the CogAT and beyond.
We’ve included a free Figure Matrices Practice Test for CogAT Grade 7 below. This set covers a range of question types that reflect the same logic, structure, and difficulty your child will encounter in the actual test. Use it as a benchmark to gauge your child’s current ability and pinpoint areas that need more focus.
