Hi

My DD is going to be taking the Kent tests this year. Does anyone know what happens in the practice tests - are these marked, or do they get to bring the papers home?

Thanks!

PD

DH phoned Kent CC on another matter but was told the practice papers are just bought from WH Smiths. I doubt they are marked as it would take too long. Also they are reused every year so wouldnt be allowed home. I'm not even sure that each child would be sitting the same paper as before I've seen mention of a child sitting paper A & another sitting C in the same year.
We were told the practice was just to time the journey, get used to the setting & the format etc . I'm not sure if the English is being sat as well as the practice day is 1 hour shorter than the actual day's test.
