time warnings???
Does anybody know, is it regulation that the invigilator notifys the children when there is 10 min, 5 min and 1 min left??? as in muy sons test yesterday, they didnt let them know, and just said, at the end thats it times up pencils down without any warning for them, so any missed questions didnt even get a guess.
time warnings
Not sure about any specific rules and regulations but certainly my daughter's teacher/invigilator has always announced the half-way point and then gives 10, 5, 2 minutes (and possibly even 1?) to go. My daughter also said yesterday that she managed to change an answer she'd been unsure of just as the teacher was counting down ten seconds to go! Sounds bad/extremely unfair if there was NO indication at all of time remaining in your son's case ...
Patricia and Worried Bucks,
The "11+ transfer to secondary school Headteacher's manual" gives the advice that time should be told after 25mns and 45mns:

page 53 (Appendix 3: protocol for school testing).
I don't know if the rules have to be stricly followed.
