    Answer: Figural and quantitative pattern recognition

    The Abilities section assesses figural reasoning (shape patterns) and quantitative reasoning (number patterns) to measure logical thinking skills.

  6. To prepare effectively for the TACHS, a student should:

    Answer: Take full practice tests under timed conditions to build stamina and familiarity
