      Help I Think I Can’t Do Type …

      Hello, okay so first things first, breathe. Repeat after me, ‘I’ve got this’. Now say it like you mean it. I’m listening.

      I’m V Mouse and I’ll be taking you through each type of question given in Verbal Reasoning, step-by-step, to help you pass your Eleven Plus Exam. This exam is taken to help you get into a fantastic school that everyone wants to go to!

      Okay, so this is going to look like some James Bond style code, but it’s easy once you get your head around it. Most of the types have to do with finding patterns within the alphabet. Just follow the step-by-step instructions. I’ll be right here to help you, but I’m not going to read it to you when you don’t understand it: you are. Read Yo, trust me it works! Just remember to fill out the reflection and notes section at the back after each type you practice.

      Remember what I said, you’ve got this! Now let’s go kick some Verbal Reasoning behind!

      image007.jpg

      Type 1 – Easy Peasy!

      In each of the questions, find the letters that best concludes the series. The alphabet has been provided to support you.

      A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

      This is the instruction we are used to seeing for type one, now we are going to break it down and simplify it so we get it!
