What's inside VR Mastery 9
Four real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 10 sample pages are in the viewer.
Eight full papers for the eight weeks before the September exam.
One a week, once Books 5 to 8 are complete. Each is a full 80-question paper in 50 minutes, answered on a separate answer sheet, then marked and corrected. Every paper below 85% gets a retest after its weakest types are revised.
The answer-sheet rules that cost marks when nobody explains them.
A thin horizontal line in the box. Check the question number matches the box after every page. One word in each group for meaning questions, both words for odd two out. Rub out fully, never cross out, because a computer marks it. Under 40 seconds a question, and never leave a box blank.
80 questions in 50 minutes, five per type.
Closest in meaning, letter codes, missing letters, number types and more, in the GL format with exam conditions printed at the top. Working goes in the booklet, answers go on the sheet, exactly as on the day.
Every answer with its rule, so each paper becomes a revision list.
"Letters move −1, −2, −3 … in turn. RIDER → QGAAM." After each paper, list the types where marks were lost and revise those techniques before the next one.
All 8 papers in the book follow the pattern shown here.
