The ISEB (Independent Schools Examinations Board) Common Pre-Test is a standardised online test sat by children - usually in Year 6 or early Year 7 - applying to independent senior schools. Many independent schools use it as part of their 11+ or 13+ admissions process, including many London and South-East selective independents.
The test covers four sections: maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. It's adaptive - the questions adjust as your child answers, so drilling a fixed question set won't help much. What matters is building solid ability across all four areas.
A quick note on what PipPrep is: PipPrep doesn't have ISEB's questions - ISEB keeps its question bank private.
