Dear All

I wish all the parents and children taking the Buckinghamshire test tomorrow the very best of luck.

Of course it has not been left to luck, because, if you are reading this, it means you have been visiting this forum, to ensure your child is fully prepared.

Please post back with your thoughts on the first test.

Good Luck

Patricia

Good luck to the family of all the children who are taking the test today.

You are all going to anxiously ask your kids how it went this evening .
Don't read too much into their answer.
Last year, my son took both the Bucks and Slough tests.
He found the Bucks test easy, but most children did. Some passed, some didn't.
He found the Slough one hard, all three subjetcs very hard, he didn't finish the maths etc... A friend of his said that the maths were fairly hard but that the rest was really easy. At the time, I was devastated. But what happened? my son passed, his friend didn't.

Hope it goes well for you all.

Catherine

Thanks for you good wishes...and help.

We poured the Lad into school this morning 'feeling abit funny'

I will try not to sound too keen to know how it went when I see him tonight but I would like to know which types of questions come up to help inform possible content of the next paper.

Deep breaths - we're nearly done

Well no nerves this morning really. He just wanted to get on with it. Feedback this afternoon was - it was fine, easy, dont want to talk about it. So I guess I shouldnt have asked! I think he would tell me if it was really bad.
