Introduction

The following set of 20 questions is designed to test a student’s ability to deduce information from a logic puzzle scenario. The questions are based on the puzzle where Cerys, Ryan, Penny, Jasper, and Neil each used different materials to create their collages. The questions are aimed at students preparing for the 11+ assessment tests in UK schools.
