In Assembling Objects problems, shapes in the correct answer may be:

In the correct answer, shapes may be ROTATED or FLIPPED (mirror image), but they must NEVER be RESIZED or changed into different shapes. ASVAB Assembling Objects tests the ability to recognize the same shape in different orientations. KEY RULE: rotation and flipping are allowed (the shape looks the same, just turned or mirrored); changing size or form is NOT allowed. A common wrong-answer trap is a shape that's subtly larger/smaller or slightly altered. Train yourself to recognize a shape regardless of how it's rotated, while spotting any change in its actual size or form.
