Available in both paper and digital formats<br />
Non-Verbal Reasoning is suitable for pupils<br />
aged 8 to 14 years and can be administered<br />
individually or in a group setting. These<br />
standardised tests measure a pupil’s ability to<br />
engage with context-free visual information in order to identify their<br />
wider reasoning ability and potential.<br />
Non-Verbal Reasoning 8–14 involves no reading, so can provide insight<br />
into the abilities of pupils who think more easily in images than words<br />
and those who have limited reading skills, for example dyslexics, poorly<br />
motivated pupils who haven’t learned to read, or those who speak<br />
English as an Additional Language (EAL).<br />
These standardised <strong>assessments</strong> offer a reliable indication of how easily<br />
a pupil may acquire new concepts in a wide range of subjects including<br />
Maths, Science and Design and Technology. A short practice test<br />
ensures that all pupils understand what is expected of them before they<br />
start the test.<br />
Non-Verbal Reasoning Digital offers the same quality, rigour and<br />
reliability as its paper-based equivalent, with the added benefit of<br />
automatic scoring, a more motivating test experience and instant<br />
diagnostic reports delivered at the touch of a button. The diagnostic<br />
reports illustrate information such as:<br />
• Pupils’ results by Standard Age Score<br />
• Comparison of group with national scores<br />
• Comparison of pupil results by criteria including gender,<br />
ethnicity and free school meals<br />
• Key Stage 1 and 2 National Curriculum Level Indicators<br />
