My son is due to take the test in Nov so i need to understand the logistics behind answering a question...
Are they given a blank piece of paper so they can write the question number and answer or a computer printed answer sheet in which they merely tick, bold line or x, etc in the relevant answer box...
I really hope someone can advise so i can gear him up with what to expect. I think this is half the battle. If he is aware of what structure is in place and is FAMILIAR then we are good to go...
Please let me know about this and anything else that may be of value...
just another thought...I think the exams must be marked electronically via an prepared answer sheet. They have go through approx 80 questions in an hr...This is a tall order for anyone so i think the most efficient way would be for the pupils to just tick the right (we hope) box on answer sheet... this method would then allow them to tackle the next question without delay...
