APCAT APCAT - Alberta Police Cognitive Ability Pattern Recognition and Spatial Reasoning Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Radio call signs follow the pattern: Unit-1A, Unit-2B, Unit-3C. What is the call sign of the 6th unit?
- Unit-5E
- Unit-6E
- Unit-6F (Correct answer)
- Unit-7G
Correct answer: Unit-6F
Number increases by 1 and the letter advances by 1 each time, so the 6th unit is Unit-6F.
Question 2: A suspect's vehicle was last seen heading north, then turned east, then south. If they continue in a consistent clockwise pattern, which direction will they turn next?
- North
- East
- South
- West (Correct answer)
Correct answer: West
The clockwise pattern North → East → South → West means the next direction is West.
Question 3: An officer draws a sketch of a crime scene. If the front door faces south and the back window faces the opposite direction, which way does the back window face?
- East
- West
- North (Correct answer)
- South
Correct answer: North
Opposite of south is north, so the back window faces north.
Question 4: Shift codes are assigned as follows: Morning=M1, Afternoon=A2, Night=N3, Morning=M4, Afternoon=A5. What is the next shift code?
- M6
- A6
- N6 (Correct answer)
- N7
Correct answer: N6
The pattern cycles Morning → Afternoon → Night, and numbers increase sequentially, so next is N6.
Question 5: An officer is standing at the intersection facing north. After turning 90 degrees clockwise twice, which direction is the officer now facing?
- North
- East
- South (Correct answer)
- West
Correct answer: South
Each 90-degree clockwise turn: North → East → South, so after two turns the officer faces South.

- 10
- 12
- 14

Correct answer: 16
Each value doubles: 2, 4, 8, 16 — so the next value is 16.
