atestingtime is a simple tool to improve your ability to do Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning (NVR) tests. Just as an e-book, you click and a test full of brand new questions is sent to your computer/tablet, where our reading software will display it.
Problem
- Not enough NVR and VR tests to give sufficient practice
- Grammar schools selection standards higher
- Independent schools using it for pre selection
- Computer tests used more widely
- Manually created tests are likely to have errors and ambiguities. These have been ruled out with an algorithmic approach
Benefits
- Practice is a proven way of improving score
- Familiarity with types of questions
- No cramming – a little a lot is a better approach
- Computer /online testing practice
- No marking time
- Identification of weak areas
- Guided courses can nurture pupils though the levels of difficulty
- Each question is timed so we can identify where time is used
- Analysis to compare strengths and weaknesses in different question types
- It is possible to revisit questions
- Never run out of questions - atestingtime does not use a database of questions, but creates brand new questions, directly for you, through the use of advanced algorithms
- Compare results by taking exactly the same tests
- Standardised scoring : is 17/20 in 10 mins better that 15/20 in 8 mins?
- Syllabus neutral
- Cheaper than a tutor
- Graded and standardised from 8-13 years old and on to UK CAT levels
- No duplicate questions – no errors
- Different questions can be compared in difficulty via standardised scores
- Focus on areas that attention is needed, not with the administration of marking, at a glance
- Previous tests are instantly reviewable and retakeable
- As in an e-book, you can continue to read your previous tests even after your subscription is ended
Relevance
- Recession – more people trying to get into grammar schools to avoid school fees
- Independents Schools are now using NVR in pre-selection tests at 11+ as well as Common Entrance
