- Lastly, in the non-verbal reasoning section, questions focus on geometry, horizontal codes and classes.
Based on the syllabus for the Common Pre-test, it is suggested that students do not need any special preparation as the test is designed to identify the potential and attainment of candidates. A brief syllabus of the ISEB test can be downloaded from its official website.
