the berkshire exams are different from school to school - do you just mean Slough?

They are not connected to Bucks (other than being next door), so no reason to think that they are changing too. They already have NVR so are different to Bucks anyway (interestingly, they removed maths a few years ago!).

If they have not started the consultations as yet, then there won't be any changes.

Any school/admissions authority has to have an 8 week consultation period if they are changing the admissions criteria. This consultation has to end by the end of February at the latest (I think), therefore as Tiffinboys says, if they haven't mentioned it by now, it isn't going to happen.
