Mount Albert Grammar will hold its scholarship English and calculus mock exams on Saturday, September 9.
One student says the decision's causing widespread frustration for students and families with work, sport and family commitments.
Post Primary Teachers' Association's Chris Abercrombie says staff asked to supervise will need a corresponding length of time off.
