Title: The writing subtest has been cut
Post by: Polemos on October 07, 2020, 03:57:14 pm

So if you didn't know, it seems that they've cut the writing subtest from the test. Did anyone else hear about this? Does anyone know why?

I believe it's to reduce the time spent to complete the assessment

It's to reduce the time for the assessment for a lower rate of transmission. Maybe also because the written tests take longer to mark, as people have to read them rather than a machine. So, we can get out results quicker.
