It will be standard Maths, standard comprehension and creative writing.
Maths will be slightly harder than round 1, more like CGP Standard format.

Is CGP standard maths similar to CGP multiple choice? if yes then I think round 1 is already harder than CGP...

CGP standard maths test paper, I think there are 4 packs

Is there definitely going to be standard comprehension in addition to a writing task? I thought the English stage 2 test was a writing task only.
Re: Format of 2nd stage non-such
Yes also wondering about the comprehension in the second stage?

Re English, what are the last minute tips?
Thanks a lot to everyone in this file for all the help all this while.
Re: Format of 2nd stage non-such
The maths is likely to be multi step questions.
English changes every year it seems.
In the past the following have come up;
Just an essay title ( no comprehension so needed to write a very long essay)
Comprehension then essay.
Several short comprehensions.
Persuasive writing ( e.g. Letter to appeal for funding for a playground).
At this stage I would aim to relax and get plenty of sleep because I don't think preparation at this point will make a difference.

We're mainly just doing little bits of recap, no major cramming at this late stage.Moon unit wrote:At this stage I would aim to relax and get plenty of sleep because I don't think preparation at this point will make a difference.

In addition, there can be continuation of the story from comprehension passage.
