Question to Patrica
From the website I have worked out you are the guru on VR. Could I please ask you a some questions, as I am following your advice on which papers to do.
Should we always do the multiple choice questions or should we start off with the standard format and move to multiple choice nearer the time ?
Secondly could you give a rough schedule as on we should start the nfer papers ?
Regards

Dear Guest
There are enough multiple choice papers on the market, so I would not bother with standard form.
The tests are in October so I would leave NFER till September, but, ensure you practice HIKNOS questions along side, types of questions as identified by IPS
Immediately prior to NFER, use Susan Daughtrey [Bright Sparks] these papers 'look' very similar to NFER and the real thing.

PS....never been called a guru before!!!

Dear Sav
No, I do not have a recommended booklist, one of my fads, I truly believe its a personal choice, all children are different and enjoy different styles. I always suggest a visit to the library/bookshop with your child and let THEM choose, more likely to read/enjoy if they have chosen themselves
Should they pick a book, that in your opinion is too easy, point them in the right direction

Dear Guest
I have made the conscious decision not to take students from this forum. All my students come to me by word of mouth.
I am, of course, very happy to help you via this forum, I found the this site at the end of last year, by accident, discovered that a 'load of rubbish' was being posted about the Bucks test, just HAD to reply.
I now regularly post to help, in the main, Bucks children get through the 11 plus, it's perfectly possible for parents to teach their children, as long as you know the correct material to buy.
Any questions please ask
