What to expect in figure set practice
Figure sets in the GITP (PiCompany) assessment focus on abstract reasoning. You usually see a sequence of shapes and need to identify the pattern that connects them.
This page uses examples to show the kind of changes you may need to notice, such as rotation, position, number of elements, fill, size, or direction. The goal is to help you understand the logic behind the module, not to memorize fixed test items.
Because the exact content of a GITP assessment can vary, it is important to read the invitation carefully and practice with the sections that apply to you.

How the pattern usually shows up
A figure set often changes one feature at a time, or combines a few features in a consistent way. For example, one shape may rotate step by step, while another may add or remove elements in a steady order.
A useful way to approach these examples is to compare each figure with the one before it. Look for changes in orientation, placement, shading, and the number of objects before deciding which option fits best.
In practice, the challenge is less about knowing a specific trick and more about staying systematic. The more familiar you are with typical visual changes, the easier it becomes to work under time pressure.
Example situations you may recognize
A common example is a sequence where the same object turns a quarter turn each step. Another typical situation is a row of shapes where one small element moves around the figure in a fixed order.
You may also see examples where fill changes from empty to shaded, or where the number of parts increases and then repeats in a cycle. These are the kinds of patterns that help you decide what comes next.
If a sequence seems complicated, it can help to isolate one feature first. For example, you can check whether the direction changes regularly before you look at size or position.
Working through the module efficiently
- Check which element changes from one figure to the next.
- Test simple rules first, such as rotation, mirroring, or movement.
- Compare the answer options with the pattern you identified.
- Move on if a sequence feels unclear, then return if time remains.
This approach keeps you focused on the visual logic instead of trying to guess. It is especially helpful in online assessment settings, where you need to stay calm and work at a steady pace.
