How to prepare
- Start in November. That gives about three months before an early February test.
- Sit one full timed AAS-style paper to find the weakest area first.
- Teach reasoning question types directly, such as analogies, number patterns and spatial puzzles.
- Practise writing to a time limit, planning for five minutes before writing.
- Register early. The deadline falls in the January school holidays, and late applications aren't accepted.
