Encourage attention to detail. I used to play a game in the car called ‘the first person to spot…’ It involved me thinking of things for the children to look for, such as a man wearing a hat or a ginger cat or a red flower. It kept them occupied while also encouraging specific observation skills from a very young age. This can also be used in non-verbal reasoning questions. If your child is unsure of an answer, suggesting they focus on various aspects of the pictures (for example, colours, directions, sizes, angles, or lines) might help them notice a previously unnoticed pattern or connection.

Free 11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning Exam Papers – CEM

Non-Verbal Reasoning is one topic where there is a very great deal of crossover between all 11 Plus areas regardless of who produces the tests so these tests would also be useful materials for a pupil sitting a CEM 11 Plus exam ( there are only a very limited number of types of NVR question that can be asked, hence the crossover).

Non-verbal reasoning is tested because it shows a variety of skills that are not limited by words and language. These tests can be especially useful for children who find it difficult to talk or communicate verbally, children with English as a second language, and children who are dyslexic. It is also believed that they show a child’s general intelligence and ability without being dependent on maths or English skills. Practice makes perfect! The more of these types of questions your child does, the better they will get. There are lots of good non-verbal reasoning books available in bookshops. Going through questions in a book like this is a good way to familiarise your child with the different types of questions they may see. There are also lots of free online tests you can be print and try out at home (some suggested links below).

Here are some ways you might help hone your child’s skills in these areas: Non-verbal reasoning is sometimes called abstract reasoning. It involves solving problems usually presented in diagram or picture form. This means that visual clues are more important than words — hence the term non-verbal. The reasoning bit simply means ‘finding the correct answer’.
