With the exception of the three lowest levels of testing (X, Y and Pre-A), which are designed for very young children and therefore conducted in a different format and structure, the content of each of the higher levels (A to G) is similar in format and question types. The main difference between them is their increasing level of difficulty, which corresponds to the overlapping configuration of the target age groups.
