I think, in cases such as these, it's best to apply rule 33.
Or was that rule 34 (goes away to google), no, definitely rule 33.
I've never heard that before. Thanks Malcolm.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

People applying for secondary selective schools eg grammar/independent (not all, but probably the majority of 11+ exams include it), plus people doing aptitude tests for jobs may need it, eg I think the civil service use vr type tests.
You should apply for a job with a vr test, PN - I'm sure you'd do v well with your natural quick understanding of language.0 -
verbal reasoning eg joey is to kangaroo as _______ is to tiger.
non verbal reasoning eg pictures of windmills with various patterns on their sales asking you to identify the odd one out.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

The TSA is a pretty classic verbal reasoning test. Try this short test.

You can see a variety of tests on their website http://www.admissionstests.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/adt/
What I find fascinating is that I can do well on some of these tests and badly on others.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
No Civil Service down here, well I don't think there is. Although, to be honest, I don't know what the Civil Service is, who it might be.People applying for secondary selective schools eg grammar/independent (not all, but probably the majority of 11+ exams include it), plus people doing aptitude tests for jobs may need it, eg I think the civil service use vr type tests.

But, I doubt there are any within 200 miles
And they're public sector, so would be looking for "people who have worked in the public sector before" and all that box-ticking stuff.... my life doesn't tick boxes. There's no "Genius: Yes/No" tick box.0 -

Oooh, I look forward to doing that, always enjoy a good test. I was the kind of swotty child who enjoyed doing IQ tests for fun - had no tutoring as such, but such hobbies helped when I applied for grammar school a long, long time ago.
These days, all the kids seem to be frighteningly tutored.
Was shocked to be told recently that about half the kids in my DD2's class (aged 7-8) were tutored. What on earth for??? Past SATs, no 11+ exams for years - good age to test them on their times tables/spelling but you don't exactly need a tutor for that.
As I said higher up this thread, it's a great shame that kids these days are so pressurised re schoolwork.
