Thanks so much for this - it really gives an idea of what to look out for. As the (old) mother of a seven year old I had to think hard! But at least I have plenty of time to get him used to it...

The answer to Q13 could be lug or bag

Is anyone else concerned with the lack of clarity in some of the wuestions, not just in this paper but others? For rexample, questions 7 on. I believe it should state that no letters can be deleted. We cannot assume that kids will know that you cannot omit letters. My son has just started doing papers and there has been quite a bit of confusion over some instructions - perhaps not a problem for kids who have been doing lots of papers but unfair on less experienced kids. As Jon noted, Q13 has 2 answers and past papers also contain examples of more than one acceptable answer.

Hi Question 46 also has ''hang''......than goats.

Please help just stuck on question number 53 C(A+B)+B(E+D)= my answer is 23 right.

...
written by Danielle , September 12, 2008

I think 53 is correct. 4(2+3) + 3(6+5); 4(5) + 3(11); 20 + 33 = 53

I think number 15 could be either (TOO) i.e TOO TH (Putting the TOO in front) or (OOT) i.e T OOT H (Putting the OOT between the first letter T and H the last letter.

Number 69, If READS is QDZCR, what does VYQYC mean? From Q to R, you add 1, from D to E you move up 1 letter, likewise from Z to A, C to D and R to S. We now need to find out what VYQYC means. If you go up one letter for each of the letters, you get WZRZD. I don't understand how they got WATCH. Can someone explain please?

theese questions have a mixed answers i don't understand all th questions above are right but i think chuckra should check the test

I thought this was a useful addition to the already large choice of Chukra verbal reasoning tests. I felt my son will be able to improve his future performance by doing this test and we were able to further identify the weak areas. However, my son got only just over 50% in the time allowed, failing to complete a significant number of questions in the time. He did eventually complete all the questions and we were able to go over the approach and answers together afterward. He felt it was more difficult than the norm and the absence of multiple choice seemed to add to the diffulty. A final thought: I am coming to the view that my son is borderline in his 11+ chances but will continue to help him give it his best shot. I would also ask those proud parents who seem to want to outdo others in boasting how well their child is doing in these tests (which I hope and believe reflect the real thing), to spare a thought on those who are feeling the struggle.

My daughter also struggled with this and I think the lack of multiple choice answers was part of it but also there were quite a few confusing questions - for example how is goat the opposite of ram - can one animal be the "opposite" of another animal?

written by Jon Morgan , September 15, 2008

Danielle - I agree with your comments about READS (Q70 I think) - I can't see how they got their answer - although Q15 does have to be TOO as the question asks for a three letter word which can be added - so only TOO and not OOT qualify as a correct

...
written by Jon Morgan , September 15, 2008

Danielle - I also agree with you on 77 - has to be tyros there is no way you can get tyres from that question

There are quite a few errors in the Ann milton paper with some questions that are questionable; paper should be treated as just a fun activity to spot the mistakes and not a timed activity to check progress.
Thank you Ann for your time and effort, my son found it challenging and had him in a frowned expression, which i don't often see him in.

I find chuckra very useful and always look at the videos of the verbal reasoning and find out that it helps me get prepared for the 11 plus exams. Also the free online practice papers are very useful and good.
