Yes, it is NFER based but my understanding is that it is more time pressured and many more questions than Bishop Vesey's/Sutton, so a little warning that this may be the case would be advisable for those who did the Sutton exams and are expecting a re-run. I think it is something like 85 to 100 VR compared to 45 in Sutton, and possibly 60+ instead of the 40 non-verbal. Maybe someone else will have exact figures. So few of my pupils do it and only as backup so I rarely get feedback.
It is also, I believe, multiple choice verbal reasoning--again not like Sutton--so make sure they can use this to their advantage e.g. only having to possibly decode first 3 letters if they're unique etc.
