The Haberdashers’ Boys’ School Reasoning Exam includes questions measuring:

• Verbal Ability: Covering vocabulary, grammar and comprehension
  
  
• Numerical Ability: Covering arithmetic and problem solving
  
  
• Non-verbal Ability

Each exam includes separate timed sections, each designed to test a particular topic.

Each section begins with examples of how to answer the questions.

Before the start of each section, you will be told how many questions there are and the time available.

In most sections you move from question to question using the 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons.

The exam is designed so that you must use all the time allocated for each section. If you reach the end of a section you will be sent back to the first question. In some sections you will not be able to progress onto the next section until you have answered all the questions correctly or you have run out of time.

Questions within each section will require you to answer in a particular way. There are three types of response:

Multiple Choice: Click on one of the several options available. The option selected will be highlighted in yellow.

Drag and Drop: Drag one or more of the options into the boxes or areas available.

Complete the Word: Using the keyboard, type in the letters required to complete a word. After entering two correct letters, the word will automatically complete.

Before you start you will be required to enter your personal details.

The following screen asks you to enter your details into the boxes and use the drop down boxes to select the correct details.
