Advice please on standard versus MC answer sheets
Any help on the following gratefully received.
DD will be doing a couple of entrance exams in VR using standard answer sheets.
My only previous experience is with DS who did Bucks 21 types with MC answer sheet.
As Patricia has commented there's a technique to using the MC answer sheet to move quickly thru' the questions eg. on missing letters you use the 5 suggestions on the sheet, or on codes you work your way thru' the codes letter by letter and stop when you find the only solution that corresponds with one of the answers on the MC sheet.
I have practised these techniques with DD but am wondering how to switch to the technique for standard answer sheets?? Also are there, by definition, any of the 21 types that can't be set with a standard answer sheet? I could probably work this out but don't trust myself.
It's very hard to prepare for both types of test at the same time.
