Hi there
I am new to all this! Trying to figure out if I should get my DS to sit QE test too!
My ideal would be for him to get into WGB.
Can someone please tell me at Watford exams are they VR multiple choice or standard version? What about Maths?
Also what time do they normally expect you to start exam?
All so stressful.
Thanks

There's loads of useful info about the consortium exam in WP's excellent sticky (top of page).
You also mention QE; lots of old posts about this exam. But your post about school buses suggests you live in Herts - if so, remember you can only express 3 preferences on your CAF form!!! So you might want to consider a "banker" choice as well as a couple of the more over-subscribed schools.
It is stressful, but the posters on here are very helpful & friendly Good luck.

Hi tense,
Could you please confirm that if I live in Hertfordshire and I'm applying to schools in Hertforshire and Barnet, I'm only allowed 3 preferences in total even if the schools are not from the same counties?
If this is the case, it this a new rule or has it always been the case and does the same rule applies to Barnet residents?
Thanks

You apply through the local authority in which you live, regardless of the location of the schools you're applying for. So Hertfordshire residents get 3 preferences, while Barnet residents get 6, even if they're applying for the same schools. It's not a new rule.Josa wrote:Could you please confirm that if I live in Hertfordshire and I'm applying to schools in Hertforshire and Barnet, I'm only allowed 3 preferences in total even if the schools are not from the same counties?

Me too! As you may know, the county is considering expanding the number of preferences in future years, among other things:tense wrote:Many Herts residents would like 6 preferences! I am in SW Herts, close to Barnet & Harrow, and many children from those areas (& beyond) attend schools round here. Personally, that in itself doesn't bother me, I just wish I had had six preferences too.
