Which figure comes next?
Answer: A
Why: One circle is added each time: 1, 2, 3, 4, so the next figure has 5 circles. The shape stays a circle throughout, which rules out the five squares.

Shape sequences test whether you can spot what changes from one figure to the next. Candidates describe them in SOVA's logical section and in TestGorilla's problem-solving tests. The reliable method is to check one property at a time, in a fixed order: count, shape, position, rotation, shading.
This is an easy, free question from our Bain question bank, a good first one to check the method on.
