The
Verbal Reasoning Papers provide practice at all the
reasoning skills that are commonly set in a range of
selective exams, particularly 11+. They are the only
series of books that provide continuous, graded practice
from the age of six upwards.
| Verbal
Reasoning tests consist of word puzzles of various
kinds. Click
on this link to see examples of verbal reasoning
questions. Reasoning Papers can be set in two different
ways. |
•
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 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 around 50 different styles of question.
This is a wider selection of question types than are 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 verbal reasoning (How to do … 11+ Verbal Reasoning) that accompanies the Bond verbal reasoning product range.
