Hi Patricia,
What are the relevant types for VR standard preparation? We are currently following Athey and Susan Daughtrey books. Do we need to cover all the types in these books?
Please help us. Thank you.

Dear Guest111
Which area/school are you applying for? Which publisher writes the tests?
Standard form can sometimes offer different types of questions ie types that do not lend themselves to Multiple Choice.
eg, anagrams, finding numbers taken out of sums, word grids.

Hi Patricia,
Sorry for not including this information earlier.
I am in Hertfordshire and the school said that the test will be from NFER.
We are particularly interested in WGSB, Rickmansworth. Please could you let us know what types are required for this exam?
As I said at present we are preparing from Athey educational and Susan Daughtrey. I am not sure if we are covering all the types or not.

Dear Guest111
Unfortunately I am not an expert for this school. On looking at their website, it suggests that you have/will be sent examples of questions. Have you received these?
If you can post these types I or someone else may be able to point you in the right direction...

Information about the tests (including examples of questions) and details of arrangements will be sent to all applicants under criterion 7. The test date for applicants from the Admission Area is Saturday 24th November 2007.
