Following up my previous thread in the Tutors zone, my question is as follows:

http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... php?t=2328
can any experienced tutor or parent advice me please if the practice papers of MW Educational and Learning Together are of same level of difficulty as the NFER ones or are much easier. My daughter is preparing for Berks exam and getting 95% in the IPS, AFN etc practice papers for verbal & nonverbal. So looking for some papers that could really challenge her, a bit more difficult..............Please advice any such papers with similar NFER paper types.
many thanks,
I'm interested in NFER standard types verbal & nonverbal questions ........

About the issue of the 15 or 21 VR question types for the Berks tests that Patrica mentioned, we are not 100% sure on this forum, as very few children seem to remember. Here's some comments for Slough:

And for Kendrick

The consensus is, in doubt, practice all the 21 types as defined by IPS. As your daughter has done the IPS papers, she shouldn't have any problem.

As for NVR, here’s a good thread about NFER non-verbal:

Most of the recent discussions in the Non-verbal reasoning section are about NFER papers, and from parents who have an up-to-date knowledge of the resources available.
