Hi everyone,
Just before I go to pick DS up from Alty exams, I wanted to open this thread to get reactions from eveyone about the exams.
I know my sons answer " It was OK" !!! :roll:

My son's response

NVR ok but stuck on 2 questions
VR ok but missed a couple
Maths, not hard (which worries me as the general feeling I got from others
was that maths was hard???)

Similar to NS1.
DS said NVR was okay except two questions.
VR was the most difficult
Maths was not too bad.

My DS reported no problems with NVR, didn't quite have enough time on the VR so he just guessed the last 3 questions (other than that VR was OK) and the Maths was quite hard. Who knows though... just glad it's finally over!

My DS said NVR he found difficult particularly first paper 2nd paper a little easier (not his best subject) really dissappointed when it was reintroduced!! Maths and VR he felt were fine and easier than GL papers he had been doing at home. nothing else to be done now, finger crossed! well done to our children for all their hard work. Quite funny on way home, my friend and i were exhausted after our long morning in Altrincham , the boys were lively and chatty in the back of the car, it should have been the other way around!!

DS said NVR 1 was difficult, left 3 questions. NVR2 was easy.
VR he could finish the paper except some questions that were taking time.
Maths was OK, not too easy, not too difficult .

I am glad its done. Now the long wait for result begins.
Well done to everyone and thanks for the support.

Lets hope for the best now.

Hi
Haven't entered my dc for Alty but wondered if it's ok for you to put what the creative piece was about - don't people who were sick/couldn't do exam have the same test in a couple of weeks so they will know know how to prepare for it?

Please do NOT post test content at this time. There are indeed late sittings.

It's funny how girls and boys differ! My daughter said the NVR and VR were quite easy but the maths was really hard! I heard other girls say the same. I believe it was the same exam the boys sat!
