"It kind of feels like they're being taught how to pass the test, as opposed to being taught, and then the test is an addition," she said. "Members have told us that the choice of texts was not accessible for the wide range of experiences and backgrounds children have and the difficulty was beyond previous tests, leaving children upset and with even staff struggling to understand the questions," she said.
