Reasoning Described Achievement Scale
Band 9: When attempting abstract problems, students identify non-routine patterns in a sequence in which the steps
are non-constant or highly complex. In numeracy, students solve unfamiliar multi-step word problems involving
fractions, or solve unfamiliar word problems involving percentages or substitution in formulas. Verbal skills include
Band 9
understanding complex analogies and recognising synonyms for difficult words.
697
Band 8: Students at this level complete abstract patterns in shapes with multiple sectors and complex changes. When it
comes to numeracy, students compare fractions with different denominators and resolve algebraic equations, often
devising a new approach to solving a problem. In verbal reasoning, students unpick logic from paragraphs and find
Band 8
relationships between common objects or phenomena.
651
Band 7: At this level, students complete abstract patterns in which there are two separate details to consider. Students
resolving numeracy problems complete double-digit multiplication problems involving decimals and find the missing
step in multi-step sequences involving division or subtraction. To solve verbal challenges, students use the
Band 7
relationships between words to arrange logical sentences.
605
Band 6: When completing abstract problems, students identify the ‘odd one out’ from a set of objects with a common
spatial feature, which may be translated or rotated. In numeracy challenges, students solve familiar word problems
involving decimals, substitution or overlapping sets. Students’ verbal skills at this level include identifying and
Band 6
applying analogies and resolving logical puzzles that are set in familiar contexts and expressed in words.
559
Band 5: Students identify spatial patterns in a sequence with two variables in which the step is constant. When
resolving numeracy problems, students solve multi-step problems with pictorial support and use elimination to
establish the truth from multiple described categories. Verbal skills include recognising challenging synonyms and
Band 5
antonyms with strongly distracting alternatives.
513
Band 4: Students attempting abstract problems at this level complete patterns with four sectors in which there are two
simple details to consider. In numeracy, students find the missing step in sequences involving multiplication, and
solve problems involving categorised information represented graphically. When solving verbal problems, students
Band 4
recognise the general word from a group of four words that encompasses the other three words.
467
Band 3: Students at this level identify the ‘odd one out’ from a set of objects in which there is one routine difference,
distinguishing between translation, rotation, orientation and patterning. When addressing numeracy problems,
students find the missing step in sequences involving repeated subtraction. In verbal reasoning, students find
Band 3
synonyms for challenging words from a set of four straightforward options.
421
Band 2: Students completing abstract problems identify routine patterns in a sequence with two variables in which the
steps are clear and constant. When it comes to numeracy, students at this level perform divisions and multiplications
with multi-digit or decimal numbers in familiar word problems. Verbal skills include recognising the odd one out
Band 2
from a set of objects, and matching pictures with emotions.
375
Band 1: At this level, students identify the image that should come after a set of abstract images in which there are two
obvious sets of changes, e.g. a regular colour change and a translation. Numeracy skills at this level include finding
the missing step in subtractive number sequences and using multiplication to complete money word challenges. In
Band 1
answering verbal questions, students find synonyms and antonyms to simple words.
