Oh my goodness
Just received my daughters unique number, test date and place,
All of a sudden it seems so real and so near.

Is that for Birmingham grammars?
I applied online the other day for my daughter. It made it feel so near.
I haven't had the date/place through yet.
Not wanting to wish time away I'm really looking forward to this being over!

Applied on the 10th, not had further details yet, still awaiting the email. Hopefully next week now.
I don't think we got to pick a location preference like we did with the Walsall/Wton/Shropshire Consortium. Hoping they allocate according to nearest from home.

Yes email arrived this morning. DD will be sitting the test at Fiveways for the am session (do you think there may be a pm session too?).
I remember last year when DS took test at QMGS, they had to hold 2 sessions to accommodate the huge number of children.

DD also sitting the am session at Five Ways. As they've stated 'am', I'm assuming there will be a 'pm' too. Will be glad that it's over with in the morning though!

Five Ways for us too! Seems the case for DY and WV postcodes?
I thought there was only an AM session for the Birmingham exam, unless numbers go even higher this year?
