VR Scores

Hi,

My child does most of the packs for VR and does Ok.
But when it comes to actual tests, thougj he passed he got way less than expected, going by what he used to score in practice tests.

His technique seems alright.

I really would like to know if we need to go through any wordlists or any other special pack to improve his score.

Thanks in anticipation

Hello there Elevenplus parent


To help us offer the correct advice can I ask are you tutoring yourself for next years test and if so is it the Bucks test?

Hello Elevenplus parent and Mel x

My child is doing VR quite independently. He is at the moment doing Daily Practice Tests (20 Tests) and in break times he does one column of “The Tutors Verbal Reasoning volume 1â€

Sam1310 -

There lots of good information here to help you.

However, I presume you are aware that places in Bucks are allocated on distance not score?

Do check the link below on allocation profiles:

Hello Guest55

Yes, I am spending hours reading, learning and searching. I relise that as long as child scores 121, than it is based on distance.

Thank you for web link.

Will send you PM as well.
