Most parents are not aware of this as it involves a very small amount of boys. I would estimate 5 or 6 for each subject. I think it is wonderful that they take the time to do this as they have a one to one session with the Head of English or Maths. It is for students who did well enough in one subject but were borderline for the second.
The department Head is given the opportunity for themselves to find out if the student is the right level but perhaps did not show this in the test.
This will be the first time for both Heads that they will only have multiple choice answers to work with rather than written answers so perhaps this year they will spend some more time with them as mc answers are not much to go on! In English in the past they have been given a short piece of text and asked to identify how the author is presenting the material. In Maths in the past they have been given a question and asked to go through the steps of answering it.
