We cracked it too!! The paper that we thought was extremely difficult yesterday suddenly looked just 'slightly tricky' today. DS seemed to suddenly get it!

if it still seems elusive - and you have plenty of time - The AE tuition books are really good, they take you through step by step

I think there are additional marks to be gained if a parent and/or tutor assists with NVR. it's a tricky subject to teach itself I found, more a case of natural ability to a large degree.

I can't seem to find the page now :? (about what CEM are looking for in candidates) but in the past, they have stated that their NVR assessment is ultimately about mental rotation and speed- there aren't many papers that have questions which test those areas!!

Bond has a section; so does the Alpha nvr series.

But there is also a website that homes in on this area and maybe of use. Ds1 loved it and was away designing & rotating 3d shapes (but ds2 and dd didn't bother!). :roll:

Enjoy reading about it here!
