The types of question are those on the published NfER Nelson tests. I am afraid I can't ever remember the proper names for them! In the real thing only 4 types have been used in the previous two years as the exam has been 3 lots of 16 questions and one lot of 17 questions (65 questions in all) so one type has been missed out - but I am afraid I don't know which it was and whether the same type was missed out both years.

The format is standard type - that is the questions are answered on the paper itself not on a separate answer sheet (though you are still selecting one answer from several possibilities).

Hi, see the reply under NVR section - hope it makes sense. I find it a bit difficult to describe the NVR questions and, of course, it is impossible to reproduce examples here, so please ask again if you need clarification.

I think you would do better with the elevenplusexams downloads and hopefully the NFER papers will arrive in time for a some last minute practice.
