7+ WUS and SPJ 2022

[animalplanet1]

Hi there,

Just feel it's been very quiet here this year on the 7+ exams and no thread has appeared wrt to those two schools.

Anyone out there also prepping?

xxx

Yes! The secrecy! 😂 And when anyone does open up, their child appears to be working at a ridiculously high level!

@ItsRainingTacos79 haha ye

Has anyone taken the Kings exam today? My son couldn’t finish the comprehension on time:(

@Glassofmerlot yes and same here...not got positive feedback in general about how he 'performed' so not too hopeful frankly :/

@Glassofmerlot as in - based on his feedback on the different sections

@Glassofmerlot yes and in general the papers seem quite difficult esp the reasoning which DS mentioned he left out at least 10 questions (not sure how many were there in total!) Also didn't manage to finish the dictation!😓

Thank you@walkinpark for checking. I just found out the email back in May 2022 also mentioned there will be comprehension part of the reasoning.

DS also said there were a few hard maths questions which he couldn't do. Creative writing was not the usual format of composition. No NVR, and VR had a few tricky questions too. Listening was only read once and very fast. Overall it sounds like a hard exam... harder than expected maybe?

I'm also wondering how many boys were there this morning as it didn't feel like 300 to us. We were group 14 and the last group I believe.

@Wxluuu yes it looked like 10-12 per group max (that is also quite generous)...it really depends on how the cohort does so we shall see...probably some parents decided not to come because of the Oct date? maybe they make it super hard to try and tutor proof it or something

Same here - said Reasoning was the hardest part, and doesn’t “remember” what he wrote in the Composition (there were two he said? Cat or Dog, and Super Hero Animal?). Not a good sign. He was group 20 btw so definitely more than 14 groups.

Ahh thank you @Naliny . We only saw 14 groups at the coach park entrance.

My son said he left three questions in comprehension empty:( anyone else having any empty comprehension? My son can be extremely slow. And verbal reasoning he found harder than his usual prep questions. Seems like the exam was hard this year

Also my sons group was 13 kids and there were 20+ groups

ah from the email it sounded like 14 groups but the other groups probably had different arrangements

Thank you @Glassofmerlot .
Next few days will be agonizing⏳

@Glassofmerlot I am pretty sure my son has left questions blank too, definitely in the Reasoning part. Did anybody else hear that there were two different kinds of composition?

@Naliny yes my son said there were a 'Cat vs Dog' and a 'Superhero Animal'. From the way he described it, the first one was short, and the second one seemed like a longer piece.

Fingers crossed for all your DSs who sat exams today 🤞🏽. Hopefully they've done enough to get through. I can only imagine how agonising the wait must be.

@ItsRainingTacos79 thanks - am not holding my breath for this one :)

Keeping fingers crossed for everyone who did exams yesterday!! Sounds like a v tough exam.

Same here! On to the next one.

Does anyone do mock tests? There are plenty options.

@Glassofmerlot we could not get EPP slots so am not signing up DC for now. will work on specific areas only for next few weeks.

Results out on Wednesday and Thursday .

From the first exam, at what level would you guess VR/NVR was set? We use bond books for these mainly and currently alternating between age 6-7 and 7-8 years. 8-9 years becomes too challenging.
