Study Community’s intensive Reasoning Skills programme combines a study book, timed practice, diagnostic pre-tests and teacher feedback to turn preparation time into a structured study routine.
Three tests. One focused preparation plan.
- Verbal reasoning: read precisely and distinguish what the passage states from what an answer merely suggests.
- Numerical reasoning: interpret data, choose an efficient calculation and work accurately under time pressure.
- Abstract reasoning: identify relationships and changes across sequences of figures.
Prepare for all three tests. Check the current Notice of Competition for the applicable pass marks and progression rules.
Learn the method with the Reasoning Skills book
The Reasoning Skills book covers all three areas with structured theory, solving strategies, more than 1,500 exam-style multiple-choice questions, explained solutions and guidance on common traps and time management.
Understanding why an answer is correct is especially useful when two options look convincing or you need to solve a question quickly.
Apply the method with timed online practice
The e-book and 50-mock package combines study material with online practice. Complete a timed mock, review uncertain answers, revisit the relevant method in the book and then practise that skill again.
Pre-tests and individual feedback
The guided programme adds diagnostic pre-tests and teacher feedback. These help identify recurring errors, improve time management and set your next study priorities.
Guided support is separate from the book-only and e-book-plus-mocks products. Contact the team to confirm the intensive programme, pre-test schedule and support available in your chosen language.
Choose your preparation language
Review the language options on the relevant product page before ordering. Confirm availability with the team if your preferred language or support option is not listed. Preparation materials do not determine your official exam language; follow the competition requirements and the choices recorded in your application.
