MY daughter is struggling with codes. I want to know how many types of codes are there to learn. Is there any specific website or book from where she can learn. And also I need to know which book I need to follow. Thanks in advance.

The *GL Assessment code questions are generally known as Types C, L, N & U. You can find out which is which here: http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/advice ... t-a-glance" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (You need to scroll right down to find Type N - they weren't always on every paper, so the listing isn't wholly alphabetical.)

Those "letter headings" for the question types come from the IPS books available in our bookshop. http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/shop/IPS-Publication/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

There are many, many posts on this section of the forum describing basic techniques for solving them - just scroll through the various threads and you will find them.

Let us know which books you have used or are using, and we can recommend others.

* Caveat: I am assuming that AGGS is still using GL Assessment!

Sally-Anne or someone in the know !

I have not really worked out if codes such as the ones on the link for GL assessment and mirror codes will come up for the 12 + Bucks CEM on March 7th. DD has been practising but just wondered what you thought.

Seems a bit late in the day I know - but just for piece of mind it would help to have a concise view !

Thanks in advance

Sorry to be a pain - I didn't read it properly - will use that as an example to Dd - always read the info properly!
Is it that only code types C L N U won't be in CEM and the other code types will. Or is it that none of those at all will be in CEM Bucks forthcoming 12 +. ?

Apologies for repeating myself and thanks again...

There are no codes at all in CEM.

Is it that they are precluded, or is it that they have not so far been included but could be going forward?
