Verbal Reasoning
Verbal reasoning is almost always included in exam papers for selective schools, and relies on a strong vocabulary that goes beyond the primary curriculum.
Although verbal reasoning skills are not commonly taught at school, we give children the strategies needed to confidently tackle these types of questions.
Non-verbal reasoning
Non-verbal reasoning tests are designed to assess how well a child can analyse visual information and solve problems by using visual logic.
Non-verbal reasoning is generally not taught in school. The questions involve code and shape sequences, where children will be asked to deduce how they relate to each other.
