CAT4/Banding test, Year 6 state school (Hackney)

We’ve applied from a neighbouring borough to Hackney secondary schools. Child has to sit a CAT4/Banding test in a Hackney school.

Letter from eAdmissions says the test will be 3 hours, which seems a long time for Year 6 pupils to concentrate for. DC says the banding tests they did in school for our borough were spread over a few sessions.

Can anyone whose child has done the test (either in Hackney or elsewhere that has the same system), share what the experience was like? Is it 3 continuous hours or with breaks (seems reasonable to expect them)? Thanks.

I would not worry they may be doing 4 topics like verbal non verbal maths and English so will split it up and give your child breaks.

But ask the school?
