GITP (PiCompany) Figure Sets Tips and Practice
Prepare for GITP figure sets with practical tips on patterns, timing, and step-by-step practice for the online assessment.
Practical preparation for figure sequences
Figure sets in a GITP (PiCompany) assessment usually ask you to find the rule behind a visual sequence and choose the next figure. A calm, step-by-step approach helps more than trying to solve each item in one glance.
Use your practice time to get familiar with common changes such as rotation, position, number of elements, size, fill, and direction. The goal is not only to spot the pattern, but also to do it quickly enough to stay on schedule during the test.
If figure sets are part of your invitation, it is worth checking the assessment details carefully and practicing with similar items before test day.

Use your time efficiently during practice
Start by scanning the full sequence before focusing on details. A quick first pass often shows whether the pattern is based on movement, alternating changes, or a repeated cycle.
When you practice, work in a fixed order: identify the changing feature, test the pattern across all figures, then confirm the answer against the options. This keeps you from spending too long on one item.
If you get stuck, mark the question and move on. Time management matters in abstract reasoning, and it is usually better to answer the easier items first than to lose time on a single sequence.
Focus points that support faster solving
- Look for one main change at a time before combining rules.
- Check whether the sequence repeats, mirrors, or rotates in steps.
- Compare the answer choices against the pattern instead of reworking the entire set.
Short, repeated practice sessions are often more useful than one long session. They help you recognize patterns faster and reduce the time needed to read each new item.
If you have access to a free practice test, use it to simulate the pace of the real assessment and see where you lose time.
What to expect from GITP assessment practice
GITP is a Dutch agency used by organizations for recruitment, development, and career-related decisions. The invitation for your online assessment should explain which sections apply, so review that email before you start practicing.
Figure sequences are one of the most common components, alongside matrices, number sequences, and sometimes analogies. Practicing the exact type of reasoning you are likely to see makes it easier to plan your preparation time well.
A structured bundle can help you work through the material in a practical order, with enough repetition to build familiarity without wasting time on unrelated topics.
