How to practise

Start with the free diagnostic. Then sit timed sets: Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, plus a 15-minute creative piece and a 15-minute persuasive piece.

The question bank covers Year 7 and Year 10. There is no Year 5 set on Big Brain, so this page does not offer Year 5 practice. General Edutest tips are in the Edutest exam guide.
