DS was wondering...if they never release the VR paper used and nobody ever sits it twice, or could probably remember many of the questions-do you reckon they just use the same paper every year??!

No, as children remember questions. Some tutors gather questions from their pupils.

Yes, I expect you're right! I can't say Ds remembered any though! I would imagine it would be hard to remember the code or number sequence questions, but maybe some vocab might be recalled.

What time are we safe to start talking about it!!?

At what time do they finish today? Is it only one sitting?

There was one sitting this morning which finished at 12.40pm. My DS sat it and said that VR was difficult, English was tricky and Maths was ok (just about). Just relieved its all over. :D

DD at ChCHS says the hall was set up this morning for the test and it was finished by lunchtime, so it should be safe to discuss now.
DD3 said that the English paper was 'about meteorites and fireballs going round the earth' and thinks that the title was about a cuckoo.

DD said that she thinks it was about a meteorite circling the world and crashing somewhere.
Maths had about 23 questions about 2 or 3 subsections and the last one was very hard and had 3 sub questions and it was about aeroplane traveling.
