Maths paper

[Haze]

I may be digging myself into a hole here, but how long is the maths paper? And for how many questions?

I have some 50 Qs in 30 minutes, which DS is struggling for time with, then I find one (can't remember where it cam from) which is 30 Qs in 35 mins. Now I open (for the first time) my Letts sets of 4 complete Familiarization tests (it does say copyright NFER on the back), DS says they look like his pre-test papers, but they are 50 Qs in 50 mins.

DS seems to think he did 50 Qs in 30 mins in the pre-test, but his result would indicate this may not be the case - it was either less Qs or more time.

Cheers all

Hi Haze,

I have written down from last year - 40 questions in 30 mins. I couldn't swear that was what actually happened but it was the information given when I rang the school office last year.

P.S The maths paper is written by the school not NFER.

Oooh. So none of the above then
Thanks Mitasol, as always.

I was just adding a bit as you posted so wanted to draw your attention to the PS!

That might explain why his pre-test score was better than he's doing at home

If that's the case then if we keep prctising what we have we should be okay.

I have a feeling that it is 40 questions in 30 minutes, the pretest letter says 30 minutes for maths.

DD thinks it was 40 questions as well.

That's not too bad then. Thanks Opti.
Hope your DD is feeling better soon
