My DS mentioned there was a 8.6 (or other 8ish) number on his paper in WUS test. Have your DSs met the same please? It's not the age but what is it...?

@keepgoingforu out of interest - is your DC March born? it could be related to birth month if so.

What was the format of the maths paper yesterday at WUS? Written or multiple choice?

My son said it was combined, not only multiple choices.

User1502 · 10/01/2024 17:58

Odd as I heard some boys from our school only saw multiple choice questions and some only saw written format. My DS had no multiple choice questions on his maths paper.

They have different versions...? OMG. My son said it's written, not multiple choices like said in the email that WUS sent before.

User1502 · 10/01/2024 18:18

Mine only had written, there was no multiple choice as communicated on the email. Not a combined paper as you had mentioned. Not sure if there definitely was different versions or unnecessary chatter amongst other parents

My DS mentioned "not only" multiple choices, so I assumed it was combined. Might have misunderstanding though.

Anyone receive WUS email? So nervous!

We received second round notice - very long time to stay at the school then. Feeling so nervous...

simona28 · 12/01/2024 10:37

keepgoingforu · 12/01/2024 12:43

We just heard from SPJS as well - interviewing there on Monday. Fingers crossed! Does anyone know what the format of SPJS interviews is?

Well done and good luck! We also have an interview. We also don't know the format... I came here to ask exactly that question!

The SPJS website does have some descriptions of the stages, however the exam format was slightly different from what it said so maybe not that reliable.

If anyone has any info on the SPJS or WUS interview formats, please could you share! Much appreciated.

fenning · 13/01/2024 22:05

keepgoingforum, we also have conflicts and just sent you a DM.

simona28 · 20/01/2024 05:56

We have admission offers from both SPJS and WUS.
Any other parents here with these offers that I can connect with to tap into their thinking of which to choose?

Big cong!!!

We got all three of them and I feel so hard to decide which one to choose too!!! Love all of them😭 Sweet trouble:)

Congratulations to all! We have all 3 as well, over the moon! StarStarStarGrin

simona28 · 20/01/2024 15:34

Many congratulations to all as well :). We decided pretty quickly this afternoon on SPJS because of an easier commute and because DS has a couple of very good friends there. I also felt it was a better fit with DS's personality.
