Mind Builders – Test Your Thinking Skills is the updated version of the renowned and highly acclaimed Carlong Further Multiple Choice Assessment Tests – Mental Ability. This new and improved text includes seven (7) test papers of 100 items each, which are designed to stimulate, improve and test the mental ability of children ages 10 to 12 years at the primary level.

 Like Mental Ability, Mind Builders integrates numerous topics, including Venn diagrams, equations, vocabulary, analogies, antonyms and synonyms, across several subject areas such as Mathematics, Language Arts and Reasoning and Problem-Solving. This text strategically uses the multiple-choice question format to give students additional practice with this type of testing to be used in the new Primary Exit Profile (PEP) examination. As a bonus, answer sheets for each test are provided.
