    I've seen a lot of IQ tests with patterns that seem to be similar to this one. If you look at the difference between consecutive numbers you may see it.

    2 +4=
    6 -3=
    3 +5=
    8 -2=
    6 +6=
    12

    The differences alternate signs and the + value increases by 1 each time and the - value decreases by 1 each time. So the next number should be made with -1 so that's why I'm guessing that the next number is 11.
