Number of enclosed shapes
‘X colour’ shapes are equal to sides of enclosed shape
Line intersections do not necessarily imply number of intersections (e.g could be that 1 intersection means odd and 2 means even)
Shapes with value - If one set of shapes is a particular size and in the other set it is larger/smaller, this may be a clue
Number of shapes (inside - outside) vice versa

Swapping patterns
For every ‘X’ shape, there are ‘Y’ shapes
Boxes/shapes fit to make a larger shape
Sometimes you need to split a large shape into smaller ones to find a pattern
Periodic increase in sequence
Different coloured shapes when arrow is pointed at it (could be because of anything e.g curved shapes, straight shapes etc.)
Odd sided shapes have dashed lines and even sided have solid lines and vice versa
Certain shape can fit into another shape
Screw funnel shape = 6 sides
Square with circle on one of its corners = 5 sides
L shape = 6 sides
Square with circle cut out = 4 sides
One arrow is X degrees apart from another arrow (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/practice/completed/2024-08-04:U:FjGB:Pql6/21204)

Patterns representing mathematical formulae (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/practice/completed/2024-08-06:U:FjGB:IcK7/31253)
Concave angles = 180 < angle < 360
Convex angles = 0 < angle < 90
If given a bunch of boxes with two different colours, check to see if there is a pattern on adjacency (e.g black boxes next to white ones etc…)
It could also mean that there is one colour/type of shape on one side (e.g black boxes always on the left, white boxes always on the top)
Pattern mirroring: Features of one type of shape reflect another in the same pattern
Outline of a shape thin or fat: typically found in shapes enclosed in many shapes
Sum of sides in ‘X’ and ‘+’ patterns (https://masterucat.medentry.co.uk/ucat/qbank/history/exam-review/full-exam/4/60264915)
Also if opposite sides are the same colour, it influences whether it is an X or + shape
Also shading
Type of shape - another type of shape
‘Y shapes’ + command shapes (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/exams/completed/2024-08-13:U:FjGB:qCtG/47546)
Ends of a line are above or below a shape
Ends of a line are at the same elevation (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/exams/completed/2024-08-13:U:FjGB:qCtG/47551)
A sectioned shape with 2 layers.
Outer areas with same colour as oppositely inner shape colour or vice versa: (https://masterucat.medentry.co.uk/ucat/qbank/history/exam-review/full-exam/4/60304891)
Lines touch a specific amount of shapes
Dots shaped as ‘S’ or ‘Z’
(https://masterucat.medentry.co.uk/ucat/qbank/history/exam-review/full-exam/4/60304891)
Parrallel lines do not necessarily have to be just lines
Patterns where rotation leads to the same combination of shapes (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/exams/completed/2024-08-15:U:FjGB:lPzG/47747)
Pattern of a shape needs to be coloured the same / differently
Shapes cycle (If no observable pattern in series question then try this)
Number of sides is a multiplier to the amount of shapes (https://app.medify.co.uk/m/ucat/exams/completed/2024-08-16:U:FjGB:iv4G/30743)
If you see L shape, triangle and trapezium:
it may be convex angle pattern
“V patterns” (https://masterucat.medentry.co.uk/ucat/qbank/history/exam-review/full-exam/4/60403692)
Lines crossing a certain number of sides
Cross and plus shapes - May be link to command

PATTERNS DO NOT HAVE TO BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE
Letters may be: symmetry/straight sides/curved sides
