I'm not asking for copies as will obviously buy them, but just wondered if any darlings could tell me what is in N27, N30, E49, E50 so i can decide which ones to do instead of buying all 4 
Does anyone have BD novice and elementary tests?

If you get them from Dressage diagrams they stay in your portfolio for future use.

N27 = 20x40 arena
Working trot
Some medium trot strides
Working canter
Give & retake reins in canter
At E - Half circle left 10m to X, then from X a 10m circle to B in working trot
Plus the usual circles and down the long side stuff
N30 = 20x40 arena
Working trot
Some medium trot strides HXF
Give & retake reins in trot
At E - Half circle left 10m to X, then from X a 10m circle to B in working trot
Working trot to halt then 4 seconds immobility and proceed to Med Walk
Medium walk
Working canter
Canter - Change the rein on the diagonal FXH through trot over X, do the same later on KXM
Show some medium canter down the long side
Again, all the usual circles etc.
N27 is easier, but if you want a challenge go for N30 - due to the medium canter, and the canter change of rein on the diagonal through trot, plus the trot to halt.

E49 (20x40):
15m figure of 8
medium trot across diagonal
leg yield G to E/K and G to B/F
halt/6 second
rein back
canter give and retake on 15m circle
6-8m canter loops (K/H and F/M)
10m half circles BXE change leg through trot
medium canter 20m circle
stretchy canter 20m circle
E50 (20x40):
medium trot across diagonal
medium canter down long sides
walk to canter
10m circles in canter and trot
10m half circles, change leg through simple change (so canter to walk)
stretchy canter 20m circle
E50 is the 'nicer' Elem and rides nicely, but the marks rest on the riders accuracy and the horses balance. I actually prefer E49, it's much more fun to ride.
