Bright Sparks Papers

Can anyone tell me whether these are good practice papers? A little confused now as I have been recommended them but don't want to use them if they aren't close to the 21question types used in Wirral. Have the NFER 'giraffe'! ones which I plan to use in last month.

I'm not from your area but..

NFER Giraffe =15 types
Bright Sparks = 21 types

If you need information on 21 types have a look at the advice Patrica posted in Bucks.

Hi Kittyhola,

We used the Bright Sparks papers and found them to be close to the standard of the real tests. They contain all 21 types, unlike the NFER papers which only contain 15 types. We also used daily 10 minute tests (think they were IPS?) and found these good.

Good Luck

Yep follow the link to Bucks above. Only use 21 question types material. And you can order them all online from this site!
