We are running Cambridge PET this year which clashes with our maths GCSE. The PET exam is 2.05 mins long, (Reading and Writing 1.30mins, Listening 35mins). The tutors have requested a 'loo and snack break' in between the Reading and Writing and Listening exams. They have to be supervised at all times and if we allow a snack break it means a separate room for the snack and extra staff when rooms and staff are already at a premium. In view of this I have suggested that they should be ok to cope with a loo break in between the exams but no snack break. I have also suggested that if we coach them now for this (they already do a 2 hr lesson) this will not be a surprise to them. I think it is completely reasonable for them to do this exam with just a loo break. I would be really grateful if you run these to let me know what you do regarding snack breaks? Many thanks in anticipation.
