Has anyone heard any more about whether the exam format will be changing? the school teacher says they have not been informed of any change?

I assume you are talking about AGSB, if so, apart from what I have read on this site I haven't heard anything from my child's primary school either. I have a DS due to take the exam in Sept 14 (currently yr 5) so I would really like to know what is happening.

Letter from our Primary School on Friday evening - the format will remain unchanged until at least 2015.

Subject: AGSB Entrance Exam


I have just heard that the new entrance examination for the boys' grammar is unlikely to be implemented until 2015. Therefore the examination for your children will include non-verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, maths and a piece of writing that will be used if your child is in the review category



There you go guys.

I'm really disappointed with the lack of notice for parents. There should have been at least a full year's notice. I imagine many parents will have purchased books etc in advance.
