Angles/ bearings/ protractors
Do DC need to take protractors into 11+ GS multiple choice exams to measure angles/ bearings etc? Or are questions phrased in such a way that you don't need them?

Not in Kent. But of course the exam system is changing next year so things could change I guess.

Thanks Twinkle!
I wonder if protractors are used in other multiple choice GS exams around the country? That might give an indication about a general trend?

Re: Angles/ bearings/ protractors
I very much doubt any 11+ would need these - any angles would be calculated not measured.

Thanks Guest55. That was the kind of definitive answer I was looking for!

Re: Angles/ bearings/ protractors
No protractors required (as previously said correctly by Guest55, angles are meant to be calculated not measured).
The only items that the children were allowed to carry (last year) are:
I remember one council was fussy about not even allowing water bottle or food for the breaks.

- Black Pen
Pencil x 2
Rubber

All in a transparent bag.

Re: Angles/ bearings/ protractors
Nothing like this is allowed. No rulers, protractors, compasses. Not even a pencil case unless it is clear plastic. DG
