I've been reading all these pre-test posts with great interest as DS will be going through the process next year for 13+ entry. I was wondering if any of you had any insights into how important the headmasters's report is in the process. DS is in the top set in his prep school but by no means at the top. There are a couple of boys who have Cognitive Ability Test scores in the 130's (DS'are in the low 120's) and they consistently score the highest in all the exams....does this mean that if they are applying to the same schools as my DS, that he won't have a chance as on paper they are always going to look a lot better than him? We are very keen on some of the more selective like RGS, Hampton and KCS but if the odds are stacked against us at this stage, perhaps we should be setting out sights a little lower...or am I being defeatist...if one of the class "genius'" has a bad day and my son has a super amazing day on the day of the test, could he still be in with a shot? We haven't had our meeting with our prep school headmaster yet, so I am sure he will have an opinion, but need to prepare myself!
