Can someone tell me if this software is suitable for the Nfer-Nelson type VR papers taken in Wilts ?
Apparently the Nfer-Nelson sample papers only cover 15 out of 21 types of questions (so helpful, Nfer-Nelson, thanks ..) so I'm looking for something to cover the missing topics.

The Tutors'c VR CDs 1 (in types) and 2 (tests) will be suitable. Try the demos and see what you think
I use them here in Kent. We normally have just the 15 but occasionally another sneaks in. I find them very useful.
The Susan Daughtrey Bright Sparks papers cover the 21 types too. (must be bright sparks). Ther are 2 sets of 4 and they are similar to the format of the NfER papers
Ther is a free download by The Tutors Method and Technique. Itis very good and explains all 21 types

Thanks for the response. However, what do you mean by "in types" and "tests" ? Do CDs 1 and 2 cover different topics, or work differently, or something ?

CD 1 tests one type of question at a time..
e.g all questions in test are letter series, so that you can have lots of practice in a particular type..
useful if your child needs extra practice in a particular type of question.
CD2 has tests where there is a mix of all types of question, useful for diagnosing tricky bits..you can then go back to CD1 and practise that type.
Are the papers multiple choice in Wilts?
