Preparing for UKiset

UKiset

-Content of Assessment

The UKiset examination lasts from 2 to 2.5 hours and is divided into three parts.

  • Logical reasoning
  • English
  • And writing

where logical reasoning is subdivided into

  • Text (vocabulary test)
  • Image (non-verbal reasoning)
  • Mathematical Reasoning

Three kinds.

 

English public and private school examinations must see logical reasoning.

Students wishing to go to the UK, whether they are enrolled in private or public grammar schools, must have taken the Reasoning Test.

 

Students who wish to apply to private schools must have heard or even passed Ukiset, and they must know that logical reasoning must not be taken lightly.

Students wishing to enroll in public grammar schools will have to pass the “11+” test to reach the basic entry threshold, i.e. the elective examination for primary school students in Year 6.

 

As the examination is not uniform across the country, the scope of the examination and the questions used vary from region to region, but the examination cannot be separated from the examination

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Non-verbal reasoning
  • And verbal reasoning

 

Logical reasoning plays an important role in school examinations in the UK, which is relatively unfamiliar to Hong Kong students who are accustomed to rote learning. Fortunately, there are still remedies-Atom Learning and Britannia Gateway.

Atom Learning

-Hong Kong can also practice logical reasoning

Atom Learning Materials: Mainly divided into four subjects:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Verbal reasoning
  • Non-verbal reasoning

Similar to UKiset, the framework facilitates students to train logical reasoning and adaptation assessment through repetitive exercises.

 

Although Atom Learning has only been in Hong Kong for about two years, it is deeply rooted in the UK and works with more than 500 schools, including one-third of the members of the British Private Primary School Association.

Teachers in these schools used Atom Prime, a platform provided by Atom Learning, to upload lecture videos, assign assignment exercises and report on students’ learning progress and logical reasoning skills.

 

Atom Nucleus, another platform of Atom Learning, is similar to a private tutor, so parents can arrange their children to practice English, math, logical reasoning, and watch problem-solving videos whenever necessary after registering.

The learning materials provided on the platform are organized by professional
British teachers to ensure that they are tailored to the learning priorities.
