How this book is used in our course
Each test is sat under the clock: two sections of 20 questions. Mark, record, and go back over every wrong answer with the child explaining the rule they missed. The book is built for three passes: the second attempt weeks later proves the rule stuck rather than the answer being remembered, and a cold third pass before the exam proves it is still there.

What's inside NVR Mastery 9
Five real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 10 sample pages are in the viewer.
Twelve mixed tests at full exam standard, and the clock is now ten minutes for twenty questions.
Fifteen minutes a section in the early books, twelve in the middle ones, ten here: the speed of the real GL paper. Every test pairs a core type with a spatial or shape type, covering the whole of NVR across the twelve weeks of Year 5 Term 3.
Ten minutes per section, strictly: exam speed.
One test a week, two sittings, marked and corrected the same day. By the end of the term a child has sat 24 timed sections at the pace of the exam.
Stand where the arrow is: each column shows its tallest stack, and stacks behind add nothing unless they are taller.
Look straight at the model from the arrow. For each column, the height in the view is the tallest stack in that line. Things nearer your left hand appear on the left. Then check the view is not the mirror image, which is the view from the opposite side and the trap option in most questions.
Matrices at exam speed.
Twenty grids in ten minutes is thirty seconds a question, which is only possible with the method from Book 5 automatic.
Every answer with its rule.
480 questions explained, so every mistake in the final term becomes a method fixed before the exam.
All 12 tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
