5 tips for the ISEB Pre-Test
1: Prepare early by laying the groundwork in maths and English.
2: We have noticed that our students from local schools have fantastic numeracy skills but need to familiarise themselves with word problems.
3: Vocabulary is the key to verbal reading success – read, read, read; this way, you’ll be used to seeing words which run onto two lines so are hyphenated.
4: Non-verbal reasoning fluency increases with exposure to pattern-spotting games.
5: Try to balance practice so you don’t end up just doing the areas you are already happy with.
