my dd is still 13 and although in second set for maths, she really lacks confidence and has some gaps in her understanding.
she has a higher level GCSE past paper that she has to do as an assessment next week, and is really worried.
I wanted to ask if its usual to give a whole past paper to year 9s without differentiating it? isn't that a bit like giving a year 4 child a Year 6 SATs paper, rather than a year 4 optional SATs paper as an assessment?
also, can anyone explain why a school might set for science and maths, but not English?
TIA
