Hi, I'm so glad I've found this forum! My daughter will be sitting both the Medway and Kent tests in September this year. She's had a tutor all year and I've booked her on a couple of revision courses in August. I'm just looking more in-depth to the actual tests and have a few questions I've been struggling to find so any help would be appreciated please

.
Is anyone able to give me timings of the tests please as well as how many questions there are to answer in the said time? Am I correct in thinking that the CEM test usually produces more questions than the children are likely to answer?
I'm a little concerned about the 'extended writing' - is there anywhere I can find out what exactly the examiners are looking for? Eg what type of punctuation would give more marks, phrases, language etc and also will the writing for CEM always be a 'story' or is there a chance there'll have to write a persuasive letter etc?
Also regarding the writing, does anyone know if the writing needs to be finished in the said amount of time or will it still receive marks on the content although not finished?
I've also heard that RGS are not selecting by marks this year but then someone also told me that they say that every year but still go by marks lol - does anyone know?
Sorry for so many questions

.
Thanks.
