Use of erasers in weekend exam

Post by Hopeful18 »

Seems like a small thing but the more I think about it, the more unfair it seems. In the 11+ exam at Lawrence Sherriff it would appear it depended on which hall you took it in as to whether you were given a rubber. In my daughters exam children had to put their hand up every time they needed one and wait for an examiner to hand it them. Yet in the other hall it appears all were given one. Seems a niggly point but in an exam where timing is so important I would have thought all children should have had same experience. Apparently by the time the examiner got to one poor child, he’d waited so long that the exam time had run out. What were other children’s experiences?

There is already a long thread on this called Stationery in the Appeals section. DG

Thank you for this. Really useful to have been signposted to correct area. Looks like I haven’t been the only one concerned about it.
