How to solve an abstract reasoning matrix
A useful matrix-solving habit is to describe the change before choosing an answer. Track one property at a time, then test your proposed rule against every completed part of the grid.

A reasoning practice score is not the same as an IQ score
If you answer 24 of 30 practice questions correctly, your accuracy is 80%. That calculation describes your performance on that particular set. It does not, by itself, tell you an IQ score or where you rank in the general population.
Rotation or reflection? A method for checking matrix puzzles
A shape pointing in a new direction may have rotated, reflected or changed position. Keep those operations separate. A good matrix rule should explain every completed example, not just make one answer option look plausible.
