Our preparation develops

• Orientation

  Recognising whether shapes have changed direction.

• Position

  Understanding where objects are located relative to others.

• Transformation

  Recognising how movement changes a figure.

• Visualisation

  Mentally imagining an object before physically seeing the result.

• Comparison

  Identifying subtle differences between similar shapes.

• Accuracy

  Avoiding mistakes caused by small changes in orientation or pattern.

  Find the change taking place across shapes or diagrams.

• Systematic Comparison

  Check position, number, shading, direction and shape carefully.

• Elimination

  Rule out options that break the identified pattern.

• Mental Visualisation

  Rotate or manipulate shapes efficiently without unnecessary guessing.

• Speed

  Solve familiar question types more quickly.

• Accuracy

  Reduce mistakes caused by overlooking small visual changes.
