Hi Stella
We have a full mock exam season of all subjects in November and then again in March but this time just for English Maths and Science (though other subjects do try to join in too). These are conducted in the
main halls – full exam conditions and really are an exact replica of what they did in November and about to do in the summer term. All the students really want is bespoke lessons on what they are struggling with and so resent this extra session in March and
cause mayhem so it ends up being really difficult to administer. We then have walking talking mocks a few days before the actual exams when teachers want students to sit in the exact seat they are in for the live exams – so they know what it feels like!!
I so wish we did classroom based in March
Regards
Anna

Subject: GCSE Mock exams for English and Maths
Hi all,
Really appreciate your input as to how or if you run GCSE Mock English and Maths Exams in the Spring term. We are really struggling to resource this size of activity in the Spring term when normal classes are still taking place, and we
have limited access to readers/scribes etc.
Please can you advise if you still run as a main activity, or something classroom based.
Regards
Stella
