This section assesses students' visualization analysis and reasoning capability. It is a unique part that has no similarity with any of the verbal section tests.
Below are the tips in answering the questions:
- The number of punched holes in the unfolded figure doubles for every step of folding. If there are two steps of folding and 3 holes punched in the final folded figure, then the unfolded figure should have 3 × 2 × 2 = 12 holes;
- The unfolded figure should be symmetric for each folded line.
Below are some of the examples
- One step of folding with one punched hole:
1. A piece of paper is folded and then has had holes punched through it or has been cut with a pair of scissors. Find out which answer choice is how the paper will look when it is completely unfolded.

- One step of folding with two punched holes:
1. A piece of paper is folded and then has had holes punched through it or has been cut with a pair of scissors. Find out which answer choice is how the paper will look when it is completely unfolded.
