Designed by an experienced headmaster and deputy headmaster this compilation of questions and worked answers introduces verbal reasoning and teaches, by way of numerous examples, the reasoning behind the correct answers.
This photocopiable resource book works systematically through all of the main question-types used in 11+ and 12+ non-verbal reasoning tests. For each question type, a worked example shows exactly what the question demands and explains how to tackle it in three or four clear steps. Each example is then followed by ten or more questions of the same or very similar type, to practise and reinforce answering technique. Within each unit, gradually increasing difficulty helps to build pupil confidence. Together, the units bring easy recognition of, and familiarity with, the full range of question-types, ensuring there are no surprises in the test itself. The photocopiable sheets help to bring structure and focus to whole-class or individual preparation, and can also be used as a self-contained homework resource.
