Thank you Angel. What I mean is what % will each element take. For English what will be the format, and the time ? will there be an extended writing element, if so, how will they go about marking it ? this cannot be computer marked and is subjective.angel66 wrote:I heard from my tutor test will be :
VR
non-vr
and English and Maths
Please don't take this as a 100 % but heard this twice from 2 different people ???
Good luck anyway !
OMG hadn't even thought about the date changing, better hold of booking any hols !chumba wrote:Me too! Do you think the dates will be the roughly the same for the test and results? DD1 due to take the test next year and I've felt quite stressed just reading the posts about this year, comparing scores, ranks, dates and times of e-mails/posts. I quite like the sound of the new test if it is more than just VR, but looking forward to some actual information which is more than rumour! Started reading the Birmingham threads recently and realised the date was moved to earlier in the year recently and hadn't considered this before....... So many things to think about.
Personally I'd prefer it at the end of yr 5. At least the children can then enjoy the summer.Sunshine 11 wrote:OMG hadn't even thought about the date changing, better hold of booking any hols !chumba wrote:Me too!
