We were asked by the ERC (Educational Research Centre) to participate in TIMSS 2019. 2U were the class chosen and each of them was given a letter today explaining what is involved in the testing. The testing will be completely confidential - we will not receive individual scores and there is no need to study in advance of the test. The test will take place on Thursday morning and will take approximately 2 hours including breaks.
