Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Seemed overall ok. Questions were like the samples.

DS said there was a 3 digit number question like in the practice paper: 592 - one question was what’s the lowest 2 digit odd number.

Sometimes relayed info is incorrect though lol.

Good to hear kikiSWLondon. My DS did say it was much like the practice paper but said it was a bit harder so wasn’t sure how much harder also got nothing out of him about the creative writing. Probably botched that one up

From what I could understand, the maths was like the sample paper and the creative writing was quite straight forward. But this is coming from a now very tired DD!

DS said the composition was to write a story set in the jungle (the non-continuation question).

Anyone sitting Latymer interview tomorrow?

Hatch1009 · 18/01/2022 22:08

Yes we are x

muminwood · 18/01/2022 22:26

If I may ask, any idea if it’s more of an academic interview?

throwaway374 · 18/01/2022 22:33

We are on Friday. Any tips on how to help the child get ready for this?

Hatch1009 · 18/01/2022 22:43

I think it’s an assessment based on group activities. Not sure if there is another exam?

throwaway374 · 19/01/2022 19:26

How did the interviews go today? Good luck!

Hatch1009 · 21/01/2022 19:27
