Strategy card

Classification means finding the narrowest rule all members satisfy.

1. 1Step 1: List candidate shared features.
2. 2Step 2: Choose the most specific one that every member has.
3. 3Step 3: Test options; the distractors usually share a looser feature.
4. 4Step 4: For odd-one-out, find the rule three share and the fourth breaks.

💡 Tip: Be suspicious of a rule that would also fit the wrong answers.
