How to Do Verbal Reasoning: a Step by Step Guide: Preparation for Selection Tests by Learning TogetherThis is a really valuable book, as most state schools do not prepare children for Verbal Reasoning tests. Even if they are not taking exams at 11, this will be useful preparation for the CATS tests many children take once they reach secondary school. Verbal Reasoning is problem-solving based around words and language. This book describes 18 different question types, with a description of how to tackle the question, step-by-step instructions and a good range of sample questions. The book is clear and the instructions easy to follow; the plentiful questions, divided by question type, are perfect to ensure complete understanding. Question types include those requiring your child to find words with the closest meaning or words with the nearest opposite meaning, antonyms and synonyms, to complete words using one or two letters and logic or logical deduction. Breaking codes or completing analogies are other possible question types. It is well worth your child studying this book before moving on to test papers. |

These involves the child thinking about pictures and diagrams, and solving problems based on these items.

11+ English Comprehension by RSL: Volume 2 by Robert LomaxThis invaluable pack contains 8 practice papers with detailed answers and explanations for 11 Plus, Common Entrance and for children working at greater depth. The RSL series has been highly acclaimed for its realistic, challenging approach to exam practice. What really sets this series apart is the in-depth answers which are included - with the solutions and detailed advice for every question: any parent can confidently be a tutor for their own children. The comprehension texts are chosen for interest and variety - I am impressed with the range which has something to appeal to everyone. As children's knowledge and confidence increases, they will benefit from the increasing difficulty level of the papers, from standard (ISEB level) to challenging. Each of the 8 papers has its own answers and guidance - there are 90 A4 pages. Exams at 11+ take many different formats - it's good for children to experience different formats (as they may do if they take more than one entrance exam) so the 4 structures in tis pask are really useful. Answer sheets explain the lessons to learn from each question with sample solutions, often with alternatives, for all questions. Robert Lomax is a highly experienced professional tutor and his hands-on experience is very much to the fore in his exceptionally good packs. Visit the RSL website for more information.

10-Minute Tests for 11+ Verbal Reasoning (Ages 10-11) - CEM from CGPTest The CEM Test is the test set by Durham University - remember, it's vital that you check with your child's school so you know which form of test will be taken. Little and often - children can revise in bite-sized chunks with these timed tests. There are over thirty 10-Minute Tests, each covering a mixture of topics and skills so children get accustomed to moving quickly and confidently between question types. Step-by-step answers with clarification are included in a pull-out booklet. There are also fun puzzle pages throughout to challenge children’s Verbal Reasoning skills in a more relaxed style - these are a nice break from the formal tests.

10-Minute Tests for 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning (Ages 10-11) - CEM Test from CGPNon-verbal reasoning covers a huge range of question types and CGP, as you would expect, have managed to cover the range very effectively, with a good mix in each test. Fun puzzle pages are found at regular intervals - try these as a family! The pull-out answer booklet includes useful explanations to the answers. I found the glossary very helpful, with its explanation of terms such as rotation and reflection. Little and often is by far the best way to revise, so these books are perfect. Parents are, naturally, keen to get children into their school of choice, but overburdening children never helps. 10 minutes a day over a sustained period of time will really pay dividends. Non-verbal reasoning is especially important to practise at home, as the majority of schools will not cover this form of testing. As is obvious from the title, these are simply tests - if you want revision books, then look at others in the excellent CGP range, such as 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning Study Book and Parents' Guide for the CEM Test

The 11+ - a practical guide for parents by Mark ChattertonThe 11+ can be a minefield - there are many different exam formats for the exam and different criteria applied by the schools. Primary schools rarely prepare children for the test and many, even in 11+ areas, are unfamiliar with the requirements. So what parents need is a guide to the whole process - and here it is. It includes how to apply, which subjects are set, when to apply, what grammar schools are like, the tricky question of tutoring, how to appeal and preparation for secondary school. It is packed full of unique tips, exam advice and helpful advice for children who will be taking the 11+ exam; there are plenty of useful references too. It has been written by a teacher with over 20 years experience of preparing children for the 11+; his own children were successful in gaining grammar school places. A practical guide which will be welcomed by parents with its excellent coverage of the entire process.

11+ Results Booster: for the CEM tests (Letts 11+ Success)Designed to support preparation for the new CEM 11 Plus tests, this book gives practice in two key areas: the knowledge and skills gap between the 11 plus tests and the national curriculum (it is commonly known that the majority of state schools do not prepare pupils for the 11+) and the question types with which pupils taking the 11+ tests frequently struggle. The book includes 24 short tests covering numerical, verbal and non-verbal reasoning; these allow a quick assessment of areas needing additional help and allow pupils to focus on one skill at a time. With a variety of question types included, pupils can become familiar with these. The book includes a complete set of answers with explanations, helpful notes for parents and a score sheet to track scores over multiple attempts. CEM is the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, a research group based at the University of Durham.

These papers are intended to provide familiarisation and realistic practice ahead of the tests to build confidence and ensure success. VR and non VR are particularly important areas to reinforce at home as they are not tuaght as such in state schools; practise is key with these areas of learning. There is a definite skill in working out the answer, then translating that answer onto the answer grid. The more children practise and become familiar with this concept, the better able they will be to cope with the 11+, so this format is invaluable to ensure meximum success.

However, whatever the variations, practice always helps and familiarity with a range of formats will stand children in good stead. Non VR is a prime example of a subject which repays lots and lots of practice - the format will not be familiar from school and can look quite puzzling iitially. Howevr, as children work through papers, they will soon become familiar with the different question types and tackle questions with confidence - with 14 papers, each with 60 questions, this book offers an excellent number of questions. Example questions precede each section, so children can understand the question type before tackling the questions. Answers are included.

Practise and Pass: Develop Verbal Reasoning Level 2 by Peter WilliamsBefore this stage, children will rarely have worked to a tight time schedule - their fisrt experience may be with SATS tests but the 11+ tests will precede these. So often we are asked by parents how they can help their child to work more quickly. One key answer to this is practise, practise and more practise. The more familiar children are with the many types of questions there are, the more confident they will be. So, the 100s of questions in this book are excellent for building confidence.

11+ Super Selective Maths: 30 Advanced Questions - Book 1 from The 11+ CompanyEach of the three books includes 30 stimulating numerical and mathematical reasoning challenges. These are suitable for children at the top end of KS2 - those working for 11+ and CE exams, and they also provide sufficient challenge for those working towards exams at 13+. But don't let these books be restricted to working for exams - encourage children to truly enjoy the challenges of maths for its own sake, and gain the satisfacyion that comes from working out hard challenges. In fact, there are effectively many more questions than 30, as almost every one has several parts. An excellent series for those who want a challange and to develop mathematical skills.

||
11+ Super Selective Maths: 30 Advanced Questions - Book 2 from The 11+ CompanyWhat really makes these books stand out, to my mind, is the attention to detail given in the answers. The questions are much more thought-provoking than those generally encountered in the KS2 classroom, so children (and the parents helping them) will need these explanations to reassure them they are working on the right lines (if they got the answer right) and to explain to them where they went wrong (if they didn't get the answer). To get the full benefit, adults really need to work through the answers with children - or at least ensure children do study the answers. A good range of topics are covered and the books are well laid out with plenty of space for working out and answers.

11+ Super Selective Maths: 30 Advanced Questions - Book 3 from The 11+ Company"The 11+ Super Selective MATHS series has been written especially for children who seek ‘more than ordinary’ mathematical challenges. Filled with questions designed to stimulate thinking rather than simply elicit learned responses, this series provides the challenge that able pupils seek." As such, the questions are not restricted to any one exam format, but aim to develop and encourage mathematical skills so that pupils can face any type of question with confidence - a far more healthy approach than 'coaching' for a specific exam styles - an approach which can show up problems in future years. "Attractively designed and with ample space inside for pupils to express their working, this series will lead pupils to discover the fun, beauty and elegance of Mathematics!"

11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning Practice Book with Assessment Tests (age 9-10) for the CEM TestMany schools do not include VR and non VR in the curriculum so extra work on these topics, and particularly VR, is very useful - and an early start really does pay dividends.

11+ Verbal Reasoning Core Skills Worksheets by Lucky Gecko TuitionVerbal Reasoning forms part of most 11+ exams and also some Common Entrance papers. More than that, vital skills can be developed through VR which benefit all areas of learning. It can be fun too and gives a real sense of achievement when questions are successfully answered. There are 60 activity sheets in this workbook and they cover a wide range of skills - vocabulary, mental arithmetic and general knowledge - wider than just VR. These are covered randomly through the book so children will not get bored with one type of question; they will also learn plenty of different approaches so that they will not be 'thrown' when presented with an unfamiliar format. The questions are slightly unusual so you won't have the feeling that you have seen them before. It's all about confidence building and familiarity and this book is excellent for that.

VR from Lucky Gecko These two books from Lucky Gecko Tuition are excellent resources for preparing children for the 11+, and other verbal reasoning tests - and for improving concentration and developing thinking skills in all children. VR is a subject which is not commonly taught in schools, so practice and preparation are essential to ensure familiarity. There are many types of VR questions and these books are an excellent way of ensuring all the different types are covered, giving your child the confidence needed to tackle the tests. The questions are laid out in multiple choice format. This gives experience of transferring the answers to the questions to the answer sheet - not an easy skill to acquire, so this is really valuable. The authors recommend that children work through the questions in the first book at their own pace, ensuring familiarity and allowing areas of weakness to be picked up. The second book consists of timed questions, giving essential practice in making the best use of the time allocated. I highly recommend these books for essential pre-test practice and revision. The format and the 21 types used in the books and papers match the Buckinghamshire exam. |
