Bucks GL/CEM

Post by ringo25 »

Hi

I know a while back that Bucks changed from GL to CEM, and then most recently back to GL - which they are currently using at the moment.

Does anyone know how long the contract with GL is and when it will expire? My child will be sitting the Bucks 11+ in Sept 2024 and it would be useful to know if it will defintely be GL before we start preperation next year.

Thanks in advance.

The new GL test was first taken in 2018.

The contract was for 5 years.

The last GL test under this contract will be taken in 2022.

Thank you for your reply. Does anyone know when they are likely to announce who will be contracted after Sept 2022?

Last time I believe it was a few months before the exam.
If I get time later I will have a look, but you could browse the Bucks forum from around that time & it wuld tell you. No knowing whether it wll be the same this time, of course.
