BD Test plans

[stimpy]

I need to buy some BD tests and think I will go for the test plan diagrams as I have a visual brain. They offer two versions of the plans, one of which is a large format version, does anyone know what that is like and how does it differ to the normal version? Anyone got any pics? Wondering whether the text is bigger and/or the diagrams is bigger or whether it is printed on A5 rather than A4. The BD website is no help at all!

I also can't work out whether you can get a digital version of the plans or only the written tests

You can download the new tests from the BD website and then you’ll have them to print out. I think mine were about a pound or maybe two depending on the level. I think it’s a brilliant way to do it. You can also use Test pro which is a BD app and will give you lots of options.

I can see how to download the written tests but not the diagrams

If you subscribe to the app it will show you the individual movements. You would need to log in to BD and download the app first. There’s then a choice of what you want to view. The moves / diagrams come up for each score. There are examples in the free tests but these aren’t officially number ones. It may give you an example without paying. The subscription used to be about £5 a month and you can cancel whenever you want.

when i’ve bought the individual tests the download link is the diagram version, there was no option for written/diagram

The test pro app is really good if you are a visual thinker.

Not seen them myself but I’ve seen comments that the standard diagrams have very small text so it’s best to go for the large print.

At Olympia one year I bought a plastic folder with a complete set of A4 printed tests. I scanned and copied these so I could shove one in my pocket when i went for a riding lesson. The originals are still pristine. I wear glasses to read and had no trouble. But mine were diagrams.

Thanks all!
