Fundamental Principles

Analogy Concept

An analogy compares two pairs of terms where the relationship between the first pair is the same as the second pair.

Common Relationship Types

Synonyms, antonyms, part-to-whole, cause-effect, function, degree, and classification.

Essential Formulation Tips

  • Always identify the exact relationship in the first pair before selecting the answer.
  • Check all options by applying the same relationship, not just similarity of words.

Shortcut Execution Techniques

  • Break the pair into a sentence (e.g., 'A is used for B').
  • Eliminate options that match only partially or loosely.
