Anyone have any info on the Sutton/Wilsons/Wallington 2nd stage test?

Hi - I was wondering whether anyone whose DS took the test last year could shed any light on the format of the 2nd stage English paper? Especially how many questions they had to answer and how long they had to write for?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK each school is setting their own (and this is the first time that Wilsons and Wallington are doing so as part of a 2 stage process). Wilson's English exam is 40-45 minutes long and is rumoured to contain both comprehension and creative writing, Wallington's English is a single 25 minute piece of creative writing (5 minutes planning,, 20 minutes writing).

Thanks Ladymuck. Just trying to get an idea of what kind of thing we are looking at for each of them so that's useful.
