Does anyone know if he has to study for VR, NVR, ENG and Maths for all the above or does it vary by school???

Haberdashers has sample maths and English papers if you ask for them. All the schools should tell you the format of the tests if you ask them. However, beware: two independents my son sat for last year changed the type of reasoning on the day. One had said it would be VR and it turned out to be NVR; one said NVR and it was VR! (And I did check afterwards; it wasn't our mistake...)
He took the Habs test. It was one of the harder ones he did and the interview was less of a chat, more another series of maths and english questions. Let me know if you want more info.
