my ds is in yr 5.... we've been looking at putting him in for the 11+ exam to hopefully get into a local grammar school. He is very bright, top of his class in maths. He is also an august child.
now to questions....
1...does he get extra "points" for being a summer born child? (though I don't know if he needs it.... he flew through his yr2 sats as he was clever AND August)
2...are there any books to help with revision/see what gaps he has?
3...where can I get practice tests? (the GS has a mock test for every test they sit, but once he's done that he will need a few others to practice on/look at, etc)
4...what else should I be doing to prepare him? we are NOT pushy parents. He has the option to go for it or not, if he decides on the morning of the test he doesn't want to do it then that's fine...but I don't want him to go in unprepared when we could have done something to help him. At the moment he wants to go for it.
thanks for any help you can give me... this is all new ground for me x
