NVR: rotations and reflections

A visual strategy guide for the most common NVR question types.

Rotation: trace the shape, turn the paper. Look at one distinctive feature (a dot, a corner) and follow it. Reflection: everything flips — a feature on the left moves to the right. Distance from the mirror line stays the same. Sequences: check count → shading → position → rotation, in that order. Odd one out: compare every option on ONE feature at a time. Practise with tracing paper — it is allowed at home and builds instinct for the exam.
