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.
