How this book is used in our course
Revise the techniques during the week, then sit one 60-question test at the end of it in 45 minutes. Keep an error list of question types; two mistakes on the same type means going back to that technique.

What's inside VR Mastery 6
Four real pages from the book, so you can see exactly what your child will work from. All 9 sample pages are in the viewer.
Learn the techniques in the week, sit one 60-question test at the end of it.
One test a week through Year 5 Term 1. Tests 1 to 4 are an accessible start, 5 to 8 build pace, 9 to 12 are exam standard. Each is 60 questions in 45 minutes, so the timing tightens from the 50 seconds a question of Year 4 to 45.
Never leave a blank. Keep an error list.
Stuck after a minute? Mark your best guess, circle it, come back at the end. After the test, explain every mistake out loud and log its question type. Two mistakes on the same type is the signal to go back to that technique guide.
Five questions per type, read the box every time it changes.
Test 1 opens with One Letter Missing, then letter codes, closest in meaning and more. Every test runs through a dozen types in the GL format, so one sitting shows exactly where the marks are being lost.
Every code rule spelled out.
"Letters move +1, +2, +3 … in turn. ROOTED → SQRXJJ." "Each letter is replaced by its mirror letter." The working names the rule, so a wrong answer shows which kind of code still needs practice.
All 12 tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
