12 Hidden Patterns in the Analogy Section The entire Analogy Section uses these 12 Absolute Patterns. The official SSAT creates the questions based on these patterns. Instead of practicing each individual question endlessly without knowing the patterns and logic behind it, please work with these hidden patterns. Memorize 12 Absolute Patterns in the book and check to see if you are following the patterns. Practice until every pattern becomes natural to you. 10 Absolute Patterns in the Reading Section The entire 28 questions in the reading section, both literary and informational passages, can be categorized into two parts: Category A: Content Question; Category B: Technique Question. These two categories can be subcategorized into 10 Absolute Patterns. The 10 Absolute Patterns-mostly one pattern per question -plus 20 incorrect choices patterns will be absolutely the most effective and systemic way to improve your scores.
