Thinking Skills Practice for Selective and Scholarship Tests

This Excel workbook builds the reasoning and problem-solving skills Years 5-6 students need for the thinking skills section of selective tests.

Prepared by Lyn Baker, Sharon Dalgleish, Tanya Dalgleish and Hamish McLean, the updated test edition works on deduction, induction and lateral thinking. Students practise processing information quickly and accurately under timed conditions, and get used to current thinking skills formats so the real paper feels familiar rather than daunting. Each skill is practised in context.

Five sample tests are modelled on the real test setting. Practice questions come with hints and strategy advice, covering argument evaluation, spotting logical flaws and puzzles, and each question has a worked answer explaining the reasoning. Students learn to check their own thinking step by step.

Combine it with other educational books in the Excel series, stock up on school writing supplies for practice sessions, and explore our education range for more learning resources. Tutors can set the sample tests as timed homework.
