Verbal Reasoning tutors

Verbal Reasoning is the 11+ and 13+ subject that schools don't teach but every grammar-school entrance paper and many independent senior-school papers test — vocabulary, word relationships, codes, logic puzzles, sequences. GL Assessment (the dominant 11+ provider, covering ~80% of grammar schools), ISEB Common Pre-Test, Kent, Bucks, Birmingham consortium and CAT4 all include a VR paper, though formats differ — multiple-choice versus standard-format, on-screen versus paper-based. Tutoring helps most with format-specific practice (the question types are learnable; vocabulary load is the long pole) and with timed-paper pace, which determines as much as the underlying ability. Match the tutor to the specific test the child will sit — VR coaching for the Kent Test isn't interchangeable with VR coaching for the ISEB.
