Intelligence tests

My son has to sit an intelligence test as part of his scholarship. We were told the test is supposed to be for beyond their ages and hard. Clearly it's not a typical intelligence test as the latter doesnt make any sense. The score is also never taken into account unless there is a tie-break situation. So a child could do poorly in it but have fantastic scores on his written exam papers. Anyway I was wondering if there are any NVR/VR tests for the 16+ age group and where I could purchase them.

How about trying civil service entrance tests? I think you can buy prep. help and past papers online.

Not sure they are hugely accurate, I managed to pass them.

"Get into Medical school 600 UK CAT tests" have 16+ VR and NVR tests. My son took them when he was 17.
You can get the book online.
Good luck.
