Are practice papers on the actual test day???

[saira7]

I initially thought that practice paper is going to be on the same day as the actual test but by looking at some info,in the forum,not so sure now so please clarify and also are there practice papers for both vr and nvr?(BTW ,I'm in Redbridge) Thanks

Though not sure 100% about this year, as per my understanding Redbridge tends to do the practice papers on the same day as the actual papers. I vividly recall the marathon paper last year where the children had to do all the 4 papers, inc. the 2 practice ones on the same day!

confirmed, they do practice paper followed by actual paper for both NVR and VR

[saira7]

thanks for both replies.....another question plz:D.... are these practice ones marked?

Not my area, but from previous comments, I don't think so.

Looking at the schedule for the day it doesn't say practice test- just test paper , short break, test paper, collect children. Note test paper not papers??

The timing is 9-12, so there is no time for a full test paper, maybe a mini test paper? I think we can work on the assumption that there is no test paper!

[saira7]

Thank God that it's more likely to be a mini practice paper this year, not like previous years where dc have to do a full length vr and nvr prior to the actual test......

have been hearing rumour lately that they wont be doing practice papers this year .i guess we have to wait till 19 to find out how much of this is true.

Are we allowed to send a snack for their short break between the tests on Monday? The letter says a drink but I'd like to keep DD's sugar levels up!
