NFER paper 11A
Hi,
Help ...
My daughter is able to score only 38 out of 60 on the first NFER test 11A. This is after having gone through the Bond 10 to 11 books and some of the learning together papers. What should we do?
Any suggestions....

Keep practising!!
Identify teh type of questions she is having difficulty with and work on those. Teh Susan Daughtrey books are good but not all LEAS use all those types. Have you looked at teh CDs or downloads from this site? They are good value and you cansee the progress she is making. They record teh last 10 attempts at teh tests.
How long is it 'til she takes teh 11+?
My children struggled at first with teh NFER papers, but soon picked up speed and accuracy

oops sorry !
I keep making that mistake....
Lots of practice. Look at teh ones she gets wrong and work out together how the answer was arrived at.
It is only by getting things wrong you know where to improve.
NVR is a particular skill, that needs to be honed.
Try to focus more on the "puzzle" side rather than the end score.

The Bond books appear to be set at an easier level than the actual NFER standard, although their NVR Papers are of a more equivalent standard to NFER.
As an introduction they are very good. But you need to go upto the next level, and the following books help do this. Link to 1st of the 2 in the series is on following URL (2nd also sold by this site)

This site will also (in the very near future), be adding a NVR CD to thier arsenal, which I'm eagerly anticipating too.
Good Luck

Just found this post further down, which may be of some solace!
[i]Bond are generally far more difficult than NFER papers. Having said that, I have now seen a plethora of different NVRs by different editors, and in my opinion the prize for the most difficult NVR ever should go to :
NFER NVR paper 11A
To this day there are still some questions which I do not know why the answer to them is the one given in the asnwer booklet.
However, I remain open to alternative suggestions and nominations![/i]
