Notes for parents, tutors, teachers and other adult helpers
• Verbal Reasoning 4 is designed for nine- and ten-year-olds, but may also be suitable for some older children .
• Remove this pull-out section before giving the book to the child.
.
....• Before the child begins work on the first test, read together the instructions on page 2, headed What to do.
As you do so, look together at Section 1 Test 1 or another of the Section 1 tests and point out to the child the different elements.
• As each question type is introduced for the first time within a particular test, an example is given. Where question types recur throughout the book, the same example is provided. This is deliberate: the example will act as a useful reminder, but children will not need to work through it repeatedly from scratch.
• Make sure that the child understands how to answer the questions and that he or she has a pencil and eraser. You should also ensure that the child is able to see a clock or a watch.
• Explain to the child how he or she should go about timing the test. Alternatively, you may wish to time the test yourself. When the child has finished the test, you should together work out the Time taken and complete the box that appears at the end of the test.
• Mark the child's work using this pull-out section, giving one mark for each correct answer. Then complete the Score box at the end of the test.
• The table below shows you how to mark the Target met? box and the Action notes give you some guidance as you plan the next step. However, these are suggestions only. Please use your own judgement as you decide how best to proceed.
Score Time taken I Target Action met?
1-8 Any 9-13 Any
14-16 Over target -child took too long
On target -child took 14-16 suggested time or
less
Not yet Not yet Not yet Yes
Give the child the previous book i n the series. Provide help a nd support as n�d�.
Encourage the child to keep practising using further tests i n this book, a nd to move on to the next book when you think this is appropriate.
• Whatever the test score, always encourage the child to have another go at the questions that he or she got wrong - without looking at the solutions. If the child's answers are still incorrect, work through these questions together.
Demonstrate the correct method if necessary.
• If the child struggles with particular question types, help him or her to develop the strategies needed .
The Understanding Reasoning series, also available from Schofield & Sims, provides clear explanations on how to answer reasoning questions. It also provides 'Tips for tests' and 'Tips for revision'. For further details on this and other series that help children and young people to prepare for school selection tests, and for free downloads relating to the Rapid Reasoning Tests, visit www.schofieldandsims.co.uk
