GITP (PiCompany) Analogies Practice Experiences
By the TestPrep editorial team · Updated
What people usually notice in this module
The analogies part of a GITP (PiCompany) assessment is a verbal reasoning module. People often notice that the task looks simple at first, but the time pressure makes careful reading important.
A common pattern is that the relationship between the first pair must be transferred to the second pair. The relationship may be based on meaning, function, category, or another clear link between words.
Because the exact assessment can vary, it is sensible to check your invitation email and confirm whether analogies are included. In many cases, they appear alongside figure sequences, number sequences, and matrices.

How to approach analogy questions in practice
A practical way to train this module is to work from the relationship first, not from the answer choices. Start by naming the connection in plain language, then test whether the same connection fits the second pair.
- Read both word pairs slowly and identify the link between the first pair.
- Check whether the link is about meaning, function, category, or another type of relation.
- Compare the answer choices and eliminate options that use a different relation.
- Choose the option that matches the same pattern most closely.
This approach helps when several answers look plausible. The goal is not to guess a loose association, but to find the same structure in both pairs.
Common patterns to watch for
In practice, people often run into the same recurring patterns. Some analogies use everyday vocabulary, while others focus on more abstract relationships between concepts.
- Synonyms or closely related meanings
- Opposites or contrast in meaning
- Part-whole relationships
- Category and example
- Function or purpose
A good checklist is to ask whether the first pair shows a type of relationship you can describe in one short phrase. If you can do that consistently, the answer choices become easier to compare.
What to expect during preparation
Preparation usually works best in short practice sessions. This allows you to notice patterns, review mistakes, and build a steady routine without rushing through too many items at once.
It also helps to mix analogy practice with other GITP modules if your invitation includes them. The assessment commonly uses verbal and non-verbal reasoning together, so switching between formats can make the overall process feel more familiar.
If you are preparing for an online assessment, keep your setup simple and check your email for the official invitation details. That invitation typically explains which sections are included and how the assessment is arranged.
