This course will cover all the common styles of question set in the online and paper tests for entry to senior schools at 11+ and 13+ as well as the verbal reasoning component of grammar school entry and the ISEB common pre-tests.
This course is suitable for children in Years 5 and 6 who will sit 11+ in the autumn terms of 2023. The course assumes no prior knowledge at all of verbal reasoning, but might also be useful for those who have had some experience of these tests, but who find them challenging or who have not scored as highly as they would like. Some claim that verbal reasoning is designed to be a test of innate ability, but this tutor has seen time and time again that it is possible to teach students how to improve their performance in verbal reasoning tests if you give them failsafe methods for tackling ever
