A shape-assembly problem provides an octagon divided into six irregular pieces. The best first step when selecting the correct assembled image is to:
Answer: Match the outline of the target shape to the answer choices
Comparing the silhouette of the target shape to answer outlines quickly narrows options without detailed interior analysis.
In an assembling objects connector question, the dot on piece A is at its top-left corner and the dot on piece B is at its top-right corner. Which assembled image is correct?
Answer: A on the left and B on the right, touching top corners
Top-left of A meeting top-right of B places the two pieces side by side with touching upper corners.
A pentagon and a rectangle are shown as two separate pieces. Which of the following could NOT result from assembling them?
Answer: A circle
Combining straight-edged polygons cannot create a circle, which requires curved edges.
You are shown five pieces that form a star shape. Two pieces are identical. What should you look for to confirm correct placement of the identical pieces?
Answer: They should appear as mirrored points on opposite sides of the star
Symmetric shapes like stars often use identical mirrored pieces placed symmetrically across the figure.
An AO question shows a connector line that exits piece A from the right side midpoint and enters piece B at the left side midpoint. The line itself is shown as straight. The assembled image should show:
Answer: A on the left, B on the right, connected by a horizontal straight line
Right midpoint of A to left midpoint of B with a straight line places A and B side by side horizontally.
A right triangle with legs of equal length is one of four pieces shown. When assembled with the other three pieces, the image shows a large square. What can you infer about the other three pieces?
Answer: Together they fill the remaining three-quarters of the square
If one piece is one-quarter of a square, the remaining three pieces must account for the other three-quarters.
Which of the following best describes the difference between connector questions and shape-assembly questions on the AO subtest?
Answer: Connector questions test joining pieces at specific marked points; shape-assembly tests fitting pieces into a complete figure
Connector items focus on dot-and-line attachment points, while shape-assembly items require fitting all pieces into a complete target shape.
