Verbal Reasoning papers for 6th form entrance

5 replies

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 21/06/2010 16:46

DD1 is very keen to try elsewhere for 6th form. The school she has particularly set her heart on has its own 6th form entrance exams which include a Verbal Reasoning paper. Anyone have any idea where I can get some she can practise on? I've trawled Amazon who of course have no end of primary/secondary papers, but I can't see any 6th form books. Perhaps at that age they're using more psychometric testing ...?? Grateful to the wise MNers for any help they might be able to give.

Why don't you ask the school for some old papers?

I daren't .... I don't want them to think she's practising!!!

Asking for a past paper so that she can see what sort of questions to expect seems a reasonable request.

Once you've got one you know what you're looking for and can maybe find other similar ones elsewhere for practice

I've just googled verbal reasoning papers for adults and it comes up with a few online tests and websites that look as though they are preparation for recruitment tests. Might be worth looking at though they look as though they charge a fee. I didn't look too deeply at them

Thank you, everyone. I will be brave and ring the school so that we have an idea of what is expected, which is actually all she really needs. No-one likes a surprise, do they?!
