The VR test is multiple choice and there were 90 questions in the test to be answered in 90 mins.
The NVR test is also multiple choice with 75 questions which are answered in sections.I can't remember the precise time that you had to answer in the sections but I think it was about 8 to 9mins.

Having said all this.The borough can be clever and set out a different format for the 2007 tests,so please don't rely soley on the info I have given you.

good Luck

Made a typing error
The VR test was 90 questions to be answered in 50 MINS NOT 90.

Thanks for your reply.

If you had to do it again, would you do anything different?

Did you use a tutor or did you teach her yourself. What books / materials did you use
For preparing the exams.


Cheers :P

If my daughter had to do it all over again I would have prepared her for the tests much earlier.She started in September and I guess by many peoples standards it was too late.
We were advised to use the bond books and nfer nelson which is closest to the actual tests.I think you can also download some other papers on this site which are close to the nfer nelson test format.Click on the E-Papers at the top right hand columnto find out.
