The non verbal reasoning 11 plus test checks the child’s ability to understand, interpret and analyse the visual data presented and solve problems using visual reasoning. The questions in non verbal reasoning tests come as diagrams or pictures where the child is expected use his reasoning to recognise patterns ,shapes and other visual elements rather than words. In other words non – verbal reasoning in 11 plus is primarily used to assess the problem solving ability using pictures and diagrams. Student is expected to have skills to analyse, classify or organise the visual information and solve problems based on visual reasoning. A typical example of a question type is where the student is asked to look at a set of diagrams and find the odd one out.

Some children have a natural ability and are comfortable in solving such kind of problems. For others, consistent practice and exposure to various question types is required to enable them with the requisite skills to encounter non verbal reasoning questions.
