Z Questions

Post by menagerie »

Patricia, are these a-z question types your own method, or are they developed by one of the 11+ tutor books? I haven't seen anything like such specific explanations in Bond. We've just started on IPS which is lovely and specific but no sign of types. I'd love to get hold of a list of them somewhere.

Re: I'm being stupid, aren't I? Please explain this one!

IPS is the publisher that first identified each of the 21 types by letter, including the Zs.

Zs come in 3 forms and within each form there are a multitude of variations.

1] Lots of information then answer 1 question.

2] Lots of information then based on that information one statement of 5 MUST be true.

3] Lots of information then based on that information one statement CANNOT be true.

Which IPS publication have you got? As far as know all their Verbal Reasoning books/papers identity all the types by letter.
