DAO VR test today! How did it go?

[samarcanda]

My child sat the test today and she seems quite deflated. I can't get out of her how she feels about it
She says the first part was easy but the second she struggled with some words she didn't know.
Has anyone's children sat today's test, bless them!
How did they find it?
Are you all relieved this is over?
(I am although not looking forward to the waiting for results!)

Hi! DS sat it this lunchtime. He came out feeling good, but this is the first one he’s sat under test conditions so we don’t really have a basis for comparison.
Is your DD sitting any others? We have Latymer tomorrow.

There will be a late sitting so I wouldn't recommend mentioning how many questions, words, etc.!

Sure! No mention of questions types and number! You are right!

I managed to get something more out of her today, she says she found it overall easy but she had to rush through the last 10 questions and guess most of them because the suddenly announced time was running out and she felt a bit behind.
It doesn't sound good and she is quite deflated and doesn't think she's made the cut.
It's quite surprising because she always finished with plenty of time in home tests.

Yes Latymer for us is next!

My dd sat yesterday morning, and said she was pushed for time and didn’t finish the final few - likewise, unusual for her, as she normally finishes early.
It seemed a positive experience. She was exhilarated being at a “big” school, and loved the fact that sixth formers were their guides and answering questions - so whatever the outcome am pleased it seems to have been a positive experience.

Yes my DD loved to walk around the school. So sad this intake of kids couldn't enjoy open days, they are sitting exams blindly
