Term 1 exam questions: feedback welcome

We have just finished Term 1 with our 7 year old. These are the questions I have to ask her for her first “Exam” this week (some are taken from Module 1, great questions!) I have presented it as her chance to tell what she has learned this year and she seems excited about the opportunity.

Do you recommend asking one question from each subject per day. I think I read to use the same amount of time I usually use per subject, so maybe just go until the time is up for that subject?

If she gives me a blank stare, is it acceptable to prompt her with some specific questions? or not really.

Also when she describes one of the paintings, is she doing this from memory without looking at it at all that day?

Thanks in advance for your help!
