Anxiety and anticipation builds as parents and children across NI await the results of the GL and AQE transfer tests this Saturday. As a parent myself, I have been there and remember it only too well.
Some Primary 7 children opted to take an academic test that will determine which post primary school they will transfer to. The down side is that some children will experience a sense of failure, if they don't get their desired result. Research shows that children develop at different stages and some will be more academically and emotionally ready to take this test.
