Question types: What comes next?

Rule: Picture sequences

Look for what repeats: the shape, the colour or the turn. Find after how many pictures it repeats.

Follow each property on its own: the shapes may repeat in threes and the colours in twos.

Example: ● ▲ ● ▲ ● ? → ▲. The arrow turns 90° right each time: ↑, →, ↓, ←, then ↑ again.

Watch out: Don’t look only at the shape: when the shape fits, check the colour and the turn as well.
