The Non-Verbal Reasoning Papers provide practice at all the non-verbal reasoning skills that are commonly set in a range of selective exams, particularly at 11+. They are the only series of books that provide continuous, graded practice from the age of six upwards.

• in standard format - where the children write the answers on the question paper
• in multiple-choice format - where children tick a box on a matching answer sheet.

Bond's Papers set questions in standard format because these questions are often more challenging for children and can be a better test of their thinking skills. If they can manage questions in standard format they will transfer to a multiple-choice format very easily when the exam approaches.

The key issue with non-verbal reasoning is that the questions are genuinely testing - and the questions in Bond Assessment Papers and Bond's 11+ Test Papers certainly are! We build up the skills from book to book, introducing more question types in each successive book, so that by the time they reach the range of Fifth papers children will be familiar with several different types of question. This covers all the key types of non-verbal reasoning questions currently set in exams. The series offers a wider selection of question types than is likely to appear on an exam paper and this provides children with a significant strategic advantage. Learning and practising as many different question types as possible greatly reduces the potential for children to be faced with ‘surprises’ during an exam.

We also provide an essential tutorial guide for non-verbal reasoning (How to do … 11+ Non-verbal Reasoning) that accompanies the Bond non-verbal reasoning product range.
