Any thoughts or comments on tests (r we allowed to discuss)

[Last1973]

Just wondering what people's thoughts were
Thanks

[Moderators]

See the forum rules & guidance, in particular the FAQs, no. 13. (Quoted below.)

Moderators cannot be expected to know when it is safe to post in every single admission authority.

Local members sometimes suggest completely different dates, so we have to err on the side of caution.

We do know that in some areas late testing goes on into August.

• • 13. "Can I post information about 11+ test content (e.g. questions my child can recall), or request such information?"

    Remember that there may well be sessions for late sitters. As a responsible forum we will not allow anything to be posted that might prejudice the integrity of the test.
    No one should be revealing any aspect of test content unless a moderator has agreed.
    Evidence that it is safe to post should be clear and beyond doubt (e.g. in writing from an authoritative source).
    Copyright must be respected.

now that all the tests are over can we discuss the test and how they all found it?

[Tinkers]

We do not know if there are any late sitters that will be doing the same exam or when the last exam date will be, so please refrain from discussing the test contents until we are sure there are no more late sitters. Some regions this can be as late as July.

I have spoken to Medway Council this morning, 28/09/15, they confirmed there is one last sitting in March 2016. However, this will be a different exam paper and the papers used thus far for the 2015 tests will not be reused.

Thank you, but see our post further above: "............ in writing from an authoritative source".

Suggest you ask them by email to confirm what was said on the phone, and that you send their reply to:
moderators[at]elevenplusexams.co.uk
Also check what arrangements there will be for children moving into the area between March 2016 and September 2016.

Moderator,
Point taken on board, I did ask Medway Council to confirm their advice in writing, however, they were unwilling to do this , as they could be perceived to be complicit in the open discussion of their own confidential test. An opinion that on balance I am inclined to agree with.

Not long now to wait
Roll on Friday

definitely x x I'm spending too much time trying to formulate plan b c and d whilst hoping not to need them. The awkward thing date wise is that reviews if sought give results on sat 24th Oct at the start of 1/2 term and we are meant to be on Eurotunnel. Keep telling myself to not worry about that until after Friday & cross fingers it won't be needed. Anyone know if emails often arrive b4 4pm or if they are usually then? or when schools are informed fri or before?

How do reviews work?? This is my 1st time, I'm also hoping not to go down the review route too x
