Re: The second sitting?
A spreadsheet is a marvellous idea! I do have all the questions we know written down somewhere but I'm trying to forget about it because the odds so far are not in our favourManana wrote:I was thinking of making a spreadsheet on the information we'd gleaned between us so far!! That really is taking things too far though and I should probably do some housework instead.MacPac wrote:Yes it's tomorrow. I've been having horrible dreams about results day. I'm not sure of the time. Hopefully some people will be along to tell us the questions we still don't know though
I've discovered the answer to the last question on the maths paper if you're interested. I can't explain the question though haha.
Yes please-can you PM me!!
Re: The second sitting?
Oh wow, you've managed to find out some of the questions? My DS is still being very vague. I'm sure just to wind me up lol. Will you PM me?MacPac wrote:A spreadsheet is a marvellous idea!

Re: The second sitting?
I hope it's a different paper. As I said, by 12.30 on exam day (the time my DD sat down to sit hers) I was sat in a cafe in Colchester and I already knew a great deal of the paper as the boy as the next table had sat the exam that morning. By the time I'd got to my car, various friends had rung, whose children weren't even sitting the paper, and knew loads about what was in the paper. I thought then, this isn't really very fair if it's the same paper.
My DD hasn't said anything specific about the paper, and I haven't asked. Best that way I think.
Is it always a different paper on the second sitting? I just wondered why they never make the other paper available as 'past papers'. They only ever have one paper per year iyswim, so I did wonder...

Between our two children we've ascertained about 20 marks worth of questions from the English paper. I'll PM you in a bit because I'm on my phone which is too fiddly and there's so much to write!
Re: The second sitting?
May I suggest no details are given to anyone yet?
Re: The second sitting?
Agree. Best to be late in helping anyone sitting exams this year and plenty of time to be early in giving guidance for next year.Guest55 wrote:May I suggest no details are given to anyone yet?

Thanks. I think it's a different paper...isn't that why they do the standardising to close the gap if one lot of papers are more difficult than the other?
Re: The second sitting?
Can we talk about it now!?
Or is there a third sitting? Or a fourth!?

DD refuses to discuss the test. I only know what the reading sample was because her friend told me!
Re: The second sitting?
There is normally another sitting in May for children who move in to the area.
