    Hi Everyone,

    I suspect over the next few months that we'll all be sharing our AQE and GL stresses in here and we're still months away yet.

    Does anyone have experience of access arrangements for each set of exams? We're in the situation of possibly needing access arrangements for number one son on medical grounds. He doesn't have a statement, but does have some issues that present themselves in situations like this relating to concentration and executive functioning skills.

    We're about to fill in the registration form but it looks like we have to get the medical documentation organised very quickly after they respond.

    Cheers.

    A neighbouring school has told the parents that in order to maintain the child's scores, they are advising private tutoring! And this is a school that is working with them! The primary school my wee ones belong to is doing little just as with previous years and therefore feel a tutor is needed just to give him that little extra push. I feel it all depends on the child, but overloading them can be just as bad as doing too little...but then if others are doing it why put your child at a disadvantage?

    My son will be sitting the transfer test this coming November.

    We will not be employing the services of a tutor as financially this is not an option.

    Preparation within his school is restricted to sitting one paper a week (11 completed so far). The teacher then marks the paper and sends it home for us to work through any incorrect answers.

    Prior to this I had purchased some practice papers and was very disappointed to discover that within school he had covered very little of the material on the paper. As a result of our preparatory work at home he is doing quite well on the weekly school tests.

    I am annoyed to hear that many other schools are spending considerably more time preparing their pupils for the transfer test.

    Where is the best place to get practice papers? Are there any free ones or do they have to be bought? This aQE is an expensive exercise!
