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 10
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 exam papers for the summer before the 11+, each pairing two high-value types under the clock.
Similarities with 3 × 3 matrices, odd one out with series, analogies with codes, pattern grids with fold and punch, codes with front and side views. Every pairing is two types the GL paper weights heavily, at ten minutes a section. This is the last NVR book, sat in the weeks before the exam.
Ten minutes per section, twelve weeks, every mistake corrected the same day.
The summer schedule in one table. A parent knows what to set each week until the exam, and the child arrives having sat 24 sections at exam speed.
From above you see only the top of each stack: heights do not matter, and an extra square is the usual trap.
Two guides on one page. Front and side views, then plan views: one square per stack, the footprint counted row by row, and the plan may be turned but never changed in shape. Hidden stacks still appear from above, which is the detail most children miss.
Exam paper similarities: number of sides, odd and even marks.
"In every figure on the left, there is an odd number of small marks." The rules at this level are counts, not colours, and twenty must be found in ten minutes.
Every answer with the rule that proves it.
The final check before the exam: every wrong answer traced to the rule that was missed, and re-tried until the child can explain it.
All 12 tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
