Reading passage or questions first?

Post by catwoman »

Hi everyone
Does anyone know if in the real exam our Dc will be allowed to read the questions first then the passage in comprehension or are they allocated actual reading time for the passage.
I imagine that they are allocated 20 mins and then its up to them how they spend it...this is posed to both the Queen Marys and B'ham exams as my Ds prefers to read the questions first and hes a little worried if he's not allowed to do this :(

You would be better posting this in your region as different schools will operate different rules. DG
