This pack contains 3 tests each containing 100 questions and an answer booklet and gives practice in extended Verbal Reasoning questions of the type found in many eleven plus and twelve plus examinations. This pack contains questions in standard format. These tests are an excellent aid in preparing children for their 11+ or 12+ examinations. These extended questions are a type of Verbal Reasoning question that many children (and adults) find difficult. This question type requires the child to deal with a number of pieces of information at the same time and this can be very demanding. (A grid may assist the child to put the information into a simpler format.) A time of 50-60 minutes is recommended for each test allowing preparation for the actual eleven plus exam. Verbal Reasoning involves the child thinking about words and text and solving problems, sequences etc all mostly related to language. It requires the pupil to have a good grasp of English grammar and a wide vocabulary. In some Verbal Reasoning selection tests there may be some number based questions such as number sequences or inserting a missing number. The introductory advice contained in this Verbal Reasoning pack encourages the involvement of parents to explain the answers to the child. Parental support is crucial to a child’s success in their schoolwork. Preparing for the eleven plus exam is no different.
