Read the Large Triangle in Rows
The nine small triangles are read from top to bottom, left to right.
Tip: Row rules are common: top, middle and bottom can each use a different fill.
Locate the Missing Slot First
Before comparing options, identify the missing triangle's row, position and direction.
Tip: That slot tells you which rule to apply.
Direction Can Matter
Up-pointing and down-pointing small triangles can follow different rules.
Tip: If the fill is right but the inner shape is wrong, check the triangle direction.
Match Both Fill and Inner Shape
The correct option must match every part of the missing triangle's content.
Tip: Distractors usually get one feature right and one feature wrong.
