Received confirmation of test centre and that there are over 2500 children taking the test. Just curious how this compares to previous years, am I right in thinking it was about 2100 last year?

I think you may be confusing the number registering for the test with the number that actually sat the test. There a number that register but don’t actually sit the test for a variety of reasons.

I don’t have last year’s numbers but for the 2017 test nearly 2500 registered and for the 2016 test over 2150 registered.

I've just had a look at my test confirmation email from last year and they said over 2500 had registered then too.

Ah ok thanks, I was thinking an extra 400 was quite a jump.
