I agree it is a lot in one go. However, when I posted about this in some of the other fora no-one seemed to agree. In Kent, if you attend a Kent state primary or a linked independent, you sit NVR, maths, VR and a written task over two days. But if you attend a state or independent school over the border outside Kent (even if you live in Kent) you have to do all four tests on one Saturday morning with some kind of break in between.
Results show that the group doing it all in one go get better marks in general, but this could be more to do with them being a higher ability group than to do with the test arrangements. In general one would think it a disadvantage to have to concentrate for so long at that age.
