It varies depending on whether you Are considering extra time or a scribe  -
check on the PATOSS website  www.patos-dyslexia.org for Penny Allcock's test
which gives the speeds for different ages - it also gives instructions for
administering the test.

Assuming that you are considering using this for a scribe (Type A
arrangement) then the person who is signing the forms (Dip SpLd holder, EP,
etc..) has to sign to say that they have carried out the assessment so in
that case you can't do the testing in advance.

If you are considering using it for extra time only then you don't need Form
8 completed - just historical evidence on file - normal way of working, etc.
(which of course you also need for a scribe).

Hope that's helpful.

Hello everyone

  Anyone know what is average words per minute for GCSE exams which students
have to be slower than?

  Trying to test Year 10s so that the person we have to employ to write the
forms for us can do it all before the September 30th deadline when she can
only spare us one morning a week and we can't find anyone else.
  Were we told the deadline was going to change?  Were we asked?
