This is the first in our series of Eleven Plus Verbal Reasoning quizzes on Following Instructions. I’m sure you know how to follow written instructions, but these questions are a little different to the norm. In them, you will be following instructions to do with figures, or numbers.
You would be forgiven for thinking that these quizzes belong in our maths section, rather than our verbal reasoning one. Rest assured, they are in the right place. Sometimes, the 11+ Verbal Reasoning paper will include questions like these, to test your mathematical vocabulary.
If you already know the meaning of words associated with maths, like product, sum, dividend and divisor, you’ll sail through these quizzes. If not, you will learn some new things essential for your success. Good luck!
