Colyton practice test
Hi there
Did anyone else's DC attend the Colyton practice test on Saturday? What did they think? My DC seemed OK with it
Does anyone know how many children sat the test? Are the applications up on last year?
Thanks
Mj

Colyton familiarisation tests
Hi! My child also sat the tests on Saturday and thought they were OK. Came out looking exhausted though ...
they don't release any details. In fact it's quite hard to get your own child's figures if you want them.
Strangely the numbers who "pass" the entrance exam always exactly equal the number of places. Therefore the standard required must vary from year to year. As someone said there is plenty of scope with the English exam for varying the results.
A few years back I knew two children who were told they had "failed" but subsequently got places. They both did reasonably well (by Colyton standards) in their GSCEs.
