Rumours of New Exam Format

Cloze ?

Isn't that what Inspector Clouseau says ? as in 'Take off all your Cloze...'

There will be an announcement before Christmas that Gloucestershire is going down the CEM route.

Thanks Orson, that's good to hear. Are you willing to reveal your sources?

"Isn't that what Inspector Clouseau says ? as in 'Take off all your Cloze...'"

GROAN!!!!

Thanks for putting us out of our misery Orson - at least we all know what we're doing now (well, kind of!)

[Orson]

I couldn't do that.
I know SHS were not pro CEM but were outnumbered.

So frustrating, I phoned around all the girls grammars this morning and they said "no decision had been made". SHS suggested any information would be given out on their open evening.

Why can't they just say, yes it's CEM now.

What a year to be sitting it !

I would suggest preparing for CEM. Knowing & preparing in advance helps...Once the announcement is made drop off the other subjects. Gloucestershire grammar is probably the easiest as there is only one subject.

Very frustrating I'm sure, and worrying but do remember it's the same for all pupils taking test this year and the results will reflect this. I found that helpful to remind myself when in similar position - calmed me down.....good luck all

[RedVelvet]

I don't mind either way, but with children sitting the next two years I'd like to double up on the preparation materials!

Kind regards
