Hi, my daughter sat the tests. She said that she found the second day better and easier than the first. They did some more maths questions and a comprehension I think and finally a creative writing task.

Yep mine said same. I could not push as much as we did for KE, so i can't see she will have done too well. She had a chat with some girls who said they would die if they didn't get a place. I was really pleased that she basically said it ain't that important, although she is now saying she loves the school. Harsh that we introduce them to the darwinian nature of things so young, but thats is where we are. We will see, you dont get A score it seems, just a letter telling you to take a hike or another one with balloons on.

Dd had her exam today. She said it was ok, she finished English comprehension in plenty of time but so did many others. Maths and reasoning she said she just had enough to finish. She admitted she probablyymade some mistakes but she gave each question a go. When I asked to give me an example of a question where she guessed an answer she said it was the one with a sequence of random letters and she had to put which comes next. The fact that she said "random letters" obviously mean she made no link at all so she guessed . We'll see what tomorrow brings...

Glad to hear that your DD is feeling lots better. She seems to feel the same way that most did. Will you still find out on Saturday with rest of us? Wishing her lots of luck for tomorrow X

I don't know Casey but I am hoping so as they only have to mark 13 papers before results go out. Dd said there were 13 of them sitting supplementary exam - she counted lol. I think they should manage 13 papers in one day hopefully.

Today was a second exam day for dd. She said she didn't finish her Maths paper as she didn't have enough time. She finished her English though. We'll see what news Saturday brings.
