This is a free sample Verbal Reasoning paper from the Melbourne Tutorials Mock Exam Library. It is written in house by our English teaching team and mirrors the question types, pacing and difficulty curve students meet in the Victorian selective entry examination.
The paper works through the full range of verbal reasoning question types: analogies, odd one out, word relationships, sentence completion, letter and code patterns, and short logic puzzles built on language rather than number. The accompanying solutions file sets out the reasoning step by step, so a student can see the path to the answer instead of simply checking a letter.
It suits students in Year 8 and Year 9 preparing for selective entry, and capable Year 7 students who want an early measure of where they stand. Verbal reasoning rewards pattern recognition under time pressure, so sit the paper to the clock and review every question you guessed, not only the ones you marked wrong.
Delivery is instant. Your download link appears on screen at checkout and is emailed to you, and the files remain available in your account. The paper is designed to be printed at A4 so students can work through it by hand, which is how they will sit the real examination.
