What the official test involves
Buckinghamshire Council states that children sit two papers, each about 60 minutes long, with a break between them. The test measures verbal, non-verbal and mathematical skills, while official familiarisation material describes English and verbal reasoning in one test and non-verbal and mathematical skills in the other.
- Two papers of about one hour each
- English and verbal reasoning coverage
- Non-verbal and mathematical coverage
- Multiple-choice question formats
Free diagnostic first, transparent pricing afterwards
