SSAT 15 Hidden Patterns in the Analogy Section The entire Analogy Section uses these 15 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. 8 Absolute Patterns in the Reading Section The entire 40 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 8 Absolute Patterns. The eight Absolute Patterns-mostly one pattern per question-will be absolutely the most effective and systemic way to improve your scores.
