AFOQT Block Counting FAQ
What does Block Counting measure?
It measures spatial awareness by asking you to count blocks in a three-dimensional arrangement.
How do I count blocks I cannot see?
Use visible columns and layers to reason about the stack. Check whether an upper block must have a supporting block underneath.
Should I count visible faces?
No. The item asks for blocks. A single block may show several faces, but it still counts as one cube.
How do I account for hidden cubes?
Use the visible layers and columns to reason about the stack, including cubes that support blocks above them.
