English 901/1 opens the whole KJSEA week. Fifty multiple choice questions in 100 minutes, and then a second English paper the same day.
Agriculture is assessed twice: a project marked between May and July, and a written paper in exam week. Only one of those can still be revised for.
KPSEA Mathematics is the first paper of the week and the only one that is 1 hour 20. Pacing decides more of the mark than most parents expect.
