New exam format, 2014 ?

[Stressed?Moi?]

Oh gawd, the date of the exam would be within a few days of ds's 10th birthday (can we have a 10+ exam please!!!!). Not good Also, having to wait 7 days for the results for dd were bad enough but 7 weeks - double

I havent needed this site for a few years but the time has come to do it all again. I am reading this thread feeling i have booked next years holiday two weeks that finishes the 3rd sept. We havent been away for several years and now really worried that i have made a big boo boo. I hope we find out soon as there will very limited time to help them.

Whatever the date for the test, surely it will have to be on a Saturday during term time? And any info prior to the test probably sent by email? Internet access while on holiday would be a good idea

Would you delay tutoring till they make a decision?
I have told our tutor that we will be delaying tutoring for now because we didnt want our child learning a technique? that could be changing?....
just wondering what your thoughts are on this? thank you

Would do it myself why pay someone for something you can easily do yourself did our children and they got PGS.

If you were going to use a tutor I would use them to help with maths and English. Depending on what their SATS level is now. I they are already say a level 5 I wouldn't bother, you'll be fine I guess the new test will be good in that we will all brush up on the basics.

We did it ourselves too. I'd hang fire

I think all I'd be doing is reading a wide variety.
