Dear All

Please could you suggest if kids needs to answer comprehension questions in full sentences?

Has anyone came across any guide lines?

Thanks

In the 'new format' familiarisation paper on the CSSE website, most of the questions are MC and one question specifies that the answer requires a sentence. This leaves a couple which don't specify, but since the instructions on the front of the paper include 'Punctuation should be clear and exact', I would err on the side of sentence-writing rather than 'one-word'.

Comprehension questions should always be answered in full sentences unless specified otherwise. DG
