GITP (PiCompany) Grids Preparation
Prepare for GITP (PiCompany) grids with calm, focused practice on patterns, missing shapes, and systematic reasoning for the assessment.
Start With the Grids You Are Most Likely to Meet
If your GITP (PiCompany) invitation includes matrices or grids, it helps to begin with the format that appears most often. These tasks are built around pattern recognition in a 3-by-3 layout, where one square is missing and you need to identify the shape that completes the rule.
A steady preparation approach works better than trying to cover everything at once. Focus first on understanding how the pattern is built, then on checking the details that usually matter most: direction, position, number, and change.
The goal is not only to answer faster, but to decide more efficiently under time pressure. That means learning how to eliminate options, keep track of the pattern, and move on when a rule is not immediately clear.

How to Approach a Grid Step by Step
Look across the full matrix before focusing on a single missing square. In many cases, the rule is visible only when you compare rows, columns, or repeated movements in the figures.
- Identify the main features in each cell, such as shape, rotation, number, shading, or direction.
- Compare what changes from one position to the next and what stays the same.
- Test the answer choices against the pattern and remove any option that breaks the rule.
- If the rule remains unclear, choose the best supported option and continue without spending too long on one item.
This method keeps your work structured and reduces the chance of overlooking a simple pattern. It also mirrors the type of reasoning used in online assessment practice for abstract problems.
What to Prioritize During Preparation
For VOORBEREIDING, the most useful practice is targeted and calm. Work on a small set of representative grids first so you can recognize common pattern types before increasing speed.
- Train yourself to compare positions in a fixed order so you do not miss a change.
- Practice with matrices that vary in direction, count, and shape transformation.
- Use the review phase to note which patterns take the most time and which feel familiar.
- Check the wording in your invitation so you know which sections are actually included.
Because the exact assessment can vary, it is sensible to prepare broadly but efficiently. A short, focused routine often gives you a clearer sense of where to save time and where to slow down.
How This Fits the GITP Assessment Context
GITP is a Dutch firm that supports organizations with recruitment, development, and career-related issues. Its assessments are used by a range of employers, so the invitation email is the best place to confirm the sections that apply to you.
The grids module sits within abstract reasoning, alongside related formats such as figure sequences, number sequences, and, in some cases, analogies. Practicing the grid logic first can make the rest of the bundle easier to approach with confidence.
A published free practice test is available for this language and category, which can be useful if you want to get familiar with the style before moving into the full bundle.
