Need Help - DIY Queries for 2021

[2021EnTrY]

Few Queries please if someone can help

1) Highest possible Standardized score one can achieve in Bucks 11 Plus test.

Is it still out of 141, I was scrolling the website and it mentions 180 so a a bit confused.

2) I have downloaded and printed the free material from the GL assessment website and a bit confused again as there are different papers for each Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Non Verbal reasoning.

What will be the format of the the actual exam?

3) How many questions are in each paper on the actual exam day?

4) Website states that we will receive familiarization packs for this year, will the material be updated or its the same as posted on the forum for 2019.

Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering the forum members

Isn't the qualifying standardised score for Bucks still 121, with the actual score above this being irrelevant, because it is not used as a discriminator in any of the grammar school admissions policies?

[scary mum]

ToadMum is correct, it isn't "out of" anything, it is a standardised score, and yes, I believe this is up to about 180 maximum now, but that's not relevant for admission, they still need a score of at least 121.
Edited to add:
From the Bucks website:

A child's ‘standardised score' will be between 0 and 180+.

Your child's standardised scores from the two Secondary Transfer Test papers are added together. This gives their standardised Secondary Transfer Test Score (STTS). The STTS will be the sum of the following:

50% of the standardised score for verbal skills
25% of the standardised score for mathematical skills
25% of the standardised score for non-verbal skills.

The details of the test format are on the Bucks website (linked previously). The number of questions will vary.
I imagine the familiarisation papers are the same each year.

Thanks for replies,

So previously it used to be 141 and now its 180 ( even though its not relevant )

Lastly please can some one tell me when to use the 12 pack bundle of GL Assessment Practice Paper packs and in which order?
