SUMMARY

10 Verbal Reasoning papers consisting of 50 questions to be completed in 30 minutes covering a wide variety of question types. This is a dual format edition (both Multiple Choice and Standard) with answers.

REVIEW

IPS has produced these papers to mimic the types of questions encountered in the actual secondary selection examinations, particularly in Buckinghamshire and Kent.

There are 10 papers in the pack and each one is set for 30 minutes. The papers are in “Dual format” which means that they can be attempted in either “Multiple Choice” or “Standard” format. Answering sheets and answers are supplied within the question pack.

For children who need a break from the daily chore of full length (50 minute) papers these are a very convenient format, and more so if you need to brush up on more than one subject that evening without giving your child brain damage!

One of the best features I have discovered in IPS papers is that at the top of every section they note the “type” of question. This is a God send from the parents and tutors perspective. Instantaneously parents get an insight into the type of questions that their child struggles on. Furthermore parents can easily identify and pick similar questions of the same “type” for further practice.

Best of all we found that when using these papers in conjunction with the book IPS Verbal Reasoning Method and Technique (ISBN 0954285328) the “type” of questions can be cross referenced and rapid progress is attained by the child in over coming obstacles.
