Finally it is published and the controversial clause is also removed. Parents’ power (ooc ?) :wink:

Also timing which is interesting for those who want their DCs to sit DAO as well. A full on 3 days for any DC sitting both. I also wonder if they will allow a change if a DC who has been allocated to Monday is also sitting DAO?

I would be curious to see how they word the questions on the SIF re willingness and ability to move into catchment in order to render them compliant with the Admissions Code.

DDs sitting DAO and HBS will have exams on 4 days in a row.

The document says -
For registered applicants unable to attend the test session offered due to illness, a doctor’s note will be required and a late test arranged. Other circumstances may be considered but taking a test at another school may not.

I am new to this site, so hope I'm in right forum. Looking at Latymer exam arrangements for 2019 entry, it seems like the Maths and Verbal Reasoning is a combined test of one hour. Is this new? Was it formerly separate papers? Does anyone know if there are question papers of this type that can be bought? We have been using separate 25 minute preparations for each of Maths and Verbal Reasoning. I phoned GL to try to buy a combined paper but they could not give me any info about a joint paper. Anyone know about this?

Hi - yes you are in the right place, but you might be best to start your own thread so your question is not tucked away. Also search on old postings about VR and Maths (or look back at old posts) as I think similar questions have been posted (and answered) before. Good luck
