'End of Time' Warnings in Bucks Test

Post by AllsWell »

Hello all,

Does anyone know if children are told if the time for a section is coming to an end (e.g. 1 minute/ 30 seconds to go) or are they notified only when the time has ended?

Many thanks!

From your other post I see you are in Dunstable. Have you checked whether you would be likely to get a Bucks school from there?

I would make sure your child is prepared for whatever time warnings there may or may not be. They need to listen carefully to how much time there is for each section and possibly make a note of it on the question paper so they don't forget. They should know/have practised how long they should spend per question and if it's taking too long, guess and move on.

Are you sure you are within catchment or recent allocation distances?
