grantham area V AND NV question types
Does anyone have info about the verbal and non-verbal question types for the Grantham, Lincs area? (11+ Sept 2008) There seems to be a lot of literature 'out there' but would really like to make informed choices - a completely new experience for us. Many thanks...

VR Test:
100 Questions in 50 minutes
Standard Format
Set by NFER
Need to know all 21 question types (as published by IPS) plus a couple of extras like mixed letter and number codes and "crosswords"
NVR Test:
65 questions
Last year and this, questions organised into 4 sections of 16 questions plus an extra in one of the sections. 8 minutes to complete each section.
Standard Format
Set by NFER
Same question types as are found in the NFER Nelson published practice tests.
Tests are the same for all Lincolnshire Grammars except Caistor. Pass mark is a standardised aggregate score of 220 across the two tests with no obligation to score a "pass" in either one individually.
King's School allocates on score order, but has not been oversubscribed in the last couple of years when any pass would get you a place.
Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School follows the County admissions policy so requirement is only to pass and places are allocated with priority to siblings and then on driving distance from the school.
Plenty of advice on practice materials on this Lincolnshire Section of the forum.
