Ukiset
Non-Verbal
Reasoning
Candidates are tested on various modes of thinking through a series of questions related to shapes, sequences, and logic. With a relatively overwhelming number of questions in a short period, students exercise their best logical deductions while solving questions with patience.
Structure
Non-Verbal Reasoning comes after Mathematics in the UKiset. Candidates face multiple groups of questions, with each group targeting a certain question type. Candidates will be allowed 4-5 minutes for each group of questions (around 15-20 questions per group).
Questions are mostly multiple-choice, with some questions requiring data/numeric input. Answer options mostly involve shapes and symbols, instead of ordinary words or phrases.
There is no going back in this section - once an answer is selected and submitted, the next question appears.
Resources
Non-Verbal Reasoning requires a student to be familiar with different patterns; therefore, having a question bank would be ideal in minimising patterns that a student finds foreign. Some (non-affiliated) links to these question banks:
Bond 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning 10 Minute Tests
Collins 11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning Quick Practice Tests
If questions are not enough and a student would prefer more guidance on each type of question, here are some (non-affiliated) links to comprehensive resources covering most question types:
