Formulae help AGGS

Post by m15sgv »

My DD sat the AGGS exam on Saturday and struggled on the formulae question in Maths. Does anyone have any tips or books to recommend as I've stopped her tutor and not sure where to find learning material in preparation for Sale.
She has the Letts, Bond and AE but she's stated none specify this particular kind of question.


Thanks.

'Help your kids with maths' by Carol Vorderman is very good and for primary age kids the Usborne Illustrated Maths dictionary is excellent.

I was trying to gain help. Didn't realise its a criminal offence. I think there are more important things to be stressing out over!

Sorry, do think that was quite funny!! And our responses are prob a bit extreme due to the pressure that we are all feeling?? Eldest daughter got in a couple of years ago, pretty sure my middle daughter won't be going (due to how difficult she found the Maths...and how many she said she left out..) and third daughter going through it next year....eeek!!! But lovely middle daughter is still the bees knees and everything will be ok!!!

It's not a 'criminal offence'
- but stress levels would soon rise if parents realised someone else's child had gained an unfair advantage because information had been leaked! :?

I don't think they ever use the same paper for the late takers. See GL test papers cover almost all question types.

Don't you think they would have to in order to make the results reliable otherwise it could be claimed that one set of exams was harder than the other?
