Solving analogies is a terrific way to sharpen your thinking skills and prepare for standardized tests.

At first glance, the words in an analogy may seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the words are always logically related.

How to solve

Construct a Test Sentence: Before looking at the answer choices, try to establish a precise relationship between the words in the given pair.
It is usually helpful to express that relationship in a phrase or sentence. Then look for the answer choice containing the word pair whose relationship is closest to that of the given pair and can be expressed in a similar fashion.
