Outstanding preparation resource

This is an outstanding service for preparation - it was the best set of resources we came across of the plethora out there. The RSL lifeline programme of papers with answers sent every week were invaluable for our child. The material ranges from moderate to challenging; but all of it is realistic and very useful. In particular, the detailed answer section was worked out answers to the questions elaborating multiple methods (if applicable), and notes on how to answer similar Qs, patterns to look out for, or how the examiner may mark it - reading it was like having a tutor talk to you! There was real breadth - different types of comprehension, creative writing, maths challenges, or reasoning question archetypes. I know the reasoning portion is being redesigned going forward - adding variety to the later NVR papers in programme will make this even better. There are also some really good "How to" type guidance on the site, plus a range of videos - the guidance is extremely helpful for parents who're unfamiliar with the process and are trying to figure out how best their child can prepare; or for kids to review videos on a particular topic. Robert is very responsive to any issues or questions, and conducts his business with real integrity - which has been really refreshing in an area where there are a lot of charlatans capitalising on parental anxiety. He's shared additional material on particular areas where we thought our child needed additional work. We've used one of his books - and all above apply to this too. I cannot recommend Robert's programme highly enough!
