This is quite a common sequence, groupings of 3 unrelated numbers and sometimes operations. eg +7 – 3 + 8 followed by +7 or -3 +8 + 9 followed by – 3

Yes, I agree SSM the school needs to be informed, it is good practice to sit tests from many publishers in order to see the different variations within each type. However the teacher should only use relevant publishers. One , it will confuse, so late in the day, and two the 11 plus road is stressful enough, so why teach a child totally inappropriate types of questions adding to the pressure. Children should be out enjoying themselves, time wasted on irrelevant material could be used for more enjoyable activities.
