Testbook 1 consists of 40 graded short test papers each comprising 20 questions. They are designed to be used as a stand-alone set of test papers or in conjunction with the AE 11+ Verbal Reasoning Workbook Series as an additional learning tool. Children improve their verbal reasoning skills through a testing process, provided that the main emphasis is focused on acquiring techniques from the AE workbooks.

The test book contains:

• Answers
• Progress charts
• Certificate of achievement.

The tests are not exclusively book specific but they are progressive and give extra practice in most of the techniques contained in the Verbal Reasoning Workbooks. The tests are more literary in content than standard verbal reasoning tests, with the aim of also improving and developing children's literacy skills.
