Letts v Bond

Post by Linx11 »

New to what appears an excellent forum that might answer a niggling concern: is there a recognised difference in the difficulty of Bond v Lett practice papers? At the moment the results we are achieving seem to be markedly different. I would appreciate any insights.

PS Can anyone state 'categorically' that Lincs NVR tests do NOT include questions on cubes?

PPS Hope so!

Many thanks in anticipation.

Welcome Linx11,

Bond include question types which are not relevant for Lincolnshire tests, so are probably not the best to be using near to the tests. The Letts tests look the same as the real things and for NVR they cover all the question types which come up (and no, cubes do not appear!). For VR there is a wider range of question types which come up, most of which are covered in the IPS tests with a few more which are covered in the Susan Daughtrey books (but these also have a lot which never appear).
Hope this helps.
