## Discuss your preparation plan

Tell us about your ISEB Common Pre-Tests goals. We’ll confirm tutor availability, fees and suitable demo options.

Know what you’re preparing for

## Your test, in context.

### Who it’s for

Pupils applying to participating independent schools, often taking the tests in Year 6 or Year 7.

### What to expect

Four online adaptive assessments: English, mathematics, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. These are separate from Common Entrance papers.

### Before you plan

Parents or guardians use the official registration process. Confirm the school’s deadline and which results it needs; the Pre-Tests and 13+ Common Entrance are not interchangeable.

Understanding before speed

## The skills to focus on.

01

### English and mathematics

Practise comprehension, grammar and mathematical reasoning with attention to the instructions.

02

### Verbal and non-verbal reasoning

Explain a language relationship or visual rule, and check whether it works consistently.

Free learning resources

## Practise a skill. Understand your next step.

Choose a topic that fits your current level. These short samples support the skills discussed above; they are not a complete ISEB Common Pre-Tests mock test.

Understand it. Try it. Review it.

## Put your read, infer and write a paragraph learning into practice.

Worked example · Read, infer and write a paragraph

### Read: Leo put his umbrella away as a patch of blue appeared above the trees. What probably happened to the weather?

1. The text says Leo put his umbrella away.
2. The patch of blue suggests the clouds are clearing.
3. It is reasonable to infer that rain has stopped or is stopping.

Common mistakes to check

- Answering from a guess without checking the text
- Putting unrelated ideas in the same paragraph

A focused way forward

## Build a study routine around the test.

Use the official walkthrough to learn the interface. Review errors by skill before increasing speed; an adaptive assessment does not require every pupil to see the same questions. Bring the target school’s instructions so preparation fits its admissions process.

Discuss your next step

1. 01

### Understand the starting point

Use the official requirements and your attempted work to identify the next skill.
2. 02

### Practise with a purpose

Review a method, attempt a new task and explain the reasoning in your own words.
3. 03

### Review and adjust

Check repeated mistakes and revisit the skill before adding more timed practice.
