11 Plus Verbal Reasoning

Type L - Alphabet Series/Sequence

With this type of question you are required to work out the sequence (or sequences) of pairs of letters that are shown and to complete the series by filling in the blanks.

It is important that your child understands the concept of sequences before attempting this. Work through Number Sequences and Patterns first.

The actual test questions involve pairs of letters, but it is best to begin with single letters and to become familiar with the different types of relationships that can make up the sequences.

As with numbers, a useful strategy for dealing with sequences is to write them down, giving enough space to draw and label the hops from one term to another.
