# Spatial Visualisation — Thomas GIA practice

Pairs of abstract figures are shown. Decide in how many pairs the second figure is a rotation — not a mirror image — of the first. Tests mental rotation ability.

## Practice tips

- Mirror images cannot be produced by rotation alone — eliminate those first.
- Imagine rotating the first figure clockwise in 90° steps.
- Count carefully — the question asks how many pairs match, not which pair.

## FAQs

### What is spatial visualisation on the Thomas GIA test?

You see pairs of abstract figures and count how many pairs show the second figure as a rotation of the first. Mirror images do not count — only rotations on the page.

### What is the difference between rotation and mirror images on GIA spatial questions?

A rotation turns the figure without flipping it. A mirror image is a reflection and cannot be produced by rotation alone. Only rotation pairs count toward your answer.
