DS will NOT do working out on paper

DS sits the Redbridge VR exam this week.

When visiting this website I noticed that kids cannot write on the question sheets and so over the last week I tried to see what DS was doing. I noticed that he does no working out on paper for codes and sequences. I told him that he should do it on the spare sheets so that he gets into the practice. But he insists on working it out in his head!!! He is getting the codes and sequences right - but I can't force him to work it out "just in case".

Do I just leave it or keep on nagging?

I spent ages on this argument and won in the end... writing out is sometimes quicker... I proved it and now DS is prepared to write things down.

Good Luck

Thanks SVE. I can't believe that i caught this so late. He only has 2 days to go. I will try talking to him again tonight and then leave it i think.

Perhaps if his dad tries he might have more luck...hmm..
