How Pass Masters helps

English

Maths

Arithmetic, problem solving, fractions, ratio, geometry and data questions pitched to your child's year, from Year 3 up to early KS3 stretch work in Year 7.

Verbal reasoning

Codes, word links, missing letters, analogies and sequences in weekly topic islands, plus timed CAT4 and ISEB-style papers.

Non-verbal reasoning

Shape patterns, rotations, reflections, nets and matrices, drawn as clear diagrams so children learn to spot the rule.

Full timed papers in the four Pre-Test areas so your child gets used to working at pace on screen before the real thing.
