Good luck everyone :D
My DS takes his next test this sat coming at Queen Elizabeth, Gainsborough. Second verbal reasoning test for him as he sat a Verbal Reasoning last sat at Caistor also.
Will be pleased when it's all over !!!!
Wine and chocolate sounds like a fab idea though !!

Yes good luck to all DC's sitting tests this week and next. If its the consortium tests Rainy its definitely VR not NVR. Having 2 DC's 1 school year apart is horrendous, to go through this 2 years running with an appeal in the middle....need my life back!!! But yes wine, chocolate very handy indeed. DD2 is only 18m old, so atleast I have a nice break from this coming up......Sx

Angie,
We're doing the same schedule as you!
My daughter found the timing tougher today than Caistor. Didn't feel she did so well. At least now we get a change for next week!

Hi thank goodness that we are half way through. 2 down, 2 to go!!
My DS has been fairly chilled about it all but think boys tend to be. Not sure it's a good sign though. Girls can be quite tuff on themselves.
My DC did say QEHS paper was very different to Caistor.
NVR next week !!!! But yes at least it's a change before the final VR multi choice.
Which school do you prefer ?? We are unsure (obviously depending on results) which to put first !!

Hope you can have a relaxing before the next test. I was not so stressed this last week but felt terrible in the week running upto the first at Caistor x

Hi Angie - thank you. DS said he thought it went 'OK', he missed out 5, but said he felt the rest went fine (means nothing I know). A bit calmer now with just NVR to focus on this week. So fingers crossed. Hope you are your DS are well.
