11 Plus CAT4 Online Hidden Shape Paper Folding Spatial Reasoning Tests

Visuteach provides interactive online GL Assessment style 11 plus spatial reasoning questions in our spatial reasoning membership packages. Our membership packages include the following question types:

  • Hidden Shapes (90 questions)
  • Paper Folding (80 questions)
  • Block Counting (80 questions)
  • Matching Shape (80 questions)
  • Jigsaw (80 questions)
  • Combining Shapes (80 questions)

Spatial reasoning is a fairly new category of questions that forms part of the 11 plus Kent Test, the Lincs (Lincolnshire) Secondary Transfer Test and the Bucks (Buckinghamshire) Secondary Transfer Test (formerly known as the 11 plus). Spatial reasoning questions did not appear in GL Assessment 11 plus papers or tests before 2015, and only appear in certain regions now (e.g. Kent, Lincolnshire and Buckinghamshire). That means that there are relatively fewer familiarisation materials available for this question type than some of the other 11 plus question types.

Spatial reasoning (spatial awareness) questions test how well you can manipulate shapes and space in your head. The figure recognition, hidden shape (hidden shapes) spatial reasoning questions in the 11 Plus Kent Test, the Lincs Secondary Transfer Test and the Bucks Secondary Transfer Test are similar to some of the Figure Recognition spatial ability questions in the UK GL Assessment CAT4 test, which is a Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT test). Similarly, the figure analysis, paper folding, hole punching spatial reasoning questions in the Lincs Secondary Transfer Test and the Bucks Secondary Transfer Test are similar to some of the Figure Analysis spatial ability questions in the UK GL Assessment CAT4 test.

Visuteach’s hidden shape spatial reasoning questions are similar to the figure recognition, hidden shape spatial reasoning questions used in the Kent Test, the Bucks Secondary Transfer Test and the Lincolnshire Secondary Transfer Test. They are similar to the sample questions that appear in the Kent Test Familiarisation Booklet and the Bucks (Buckinghamshire) Secondary Transfer Test Familiarisation Booklet, although the Visuteach spatial reasoning questions are generally slightly more difficult. We have 90 figure recognition, hidden shapes spatial reasoning questions in our Spatial Reasoning Hidden Shape membership package.

Visuteach’s paper folding, hole punching spatial reasoning questions are similar to the figure analysis, paper folding, hole punching spatial reasoning questions that appear in the Bucks Secondary Transfer Test and in the Lincs Secondary Transfer Test. Sample figure analysis, paper folding questions are shown in the Bucks (Buckinghamshire) Secondary Transfer Test Familiarisation Booklet. We have 80 figure analysis, paper folding, hole punching spatial reasoning questions in our Spatial Reasoning Paper Folding membership package.
