Mock/practice results April 2021
Hi all, just wondering how the kids are getting on with mocks or practice papers. My child is averaging 65%...now panicking!!

65% within the time limit? That seems quite good. I'm guessing though, I don't know if that's good enoughMumsyKnowsBest! wrote:Hi all, just wondering how the kids are getting on with mocks or practice papers. My child is averaging 65%...now panicking!!

Where are you? It will very much depend. My children (many years ago) only started doing papers 2 months before & got very low marks/didn't finish to start with. It was very much about practice for them & we found the 10 minute tests useful for getting up speed & accuracy.
If you are in a super selective area, you are of course aiming for very hight scores, but it's still very early days. I would think boredom/staleness might be more of an issue.

I’m in Berkshire.
Wow Scary Mum, you started 2 months before? Well done on your child doing well. With regards to 10 minute tests, are you referring to the CPG books?

No, full tests a couple of months before. An hour of tutoring per week in year 5. Things were much more low key in those days!MumsyKnowsBest! wrote:I’m in Berkshire.

My point was that it's very early days to be doing full tests, it's 5 months until the tests.
