Hi everyone, I’ve been reading loads of posts but this is my first ever time posting!
My ds is sitting exams in January and in practice exams he doesn’t seem to get more than 60-70% and I’m getting super worried.
We have applied to Hampton, upper Latymer, Highgate, merchant Taylors and Habs.
Back up schools are reeds school and last choice Epsom but don’t really want ds in school 6 day’s.
What my worry is that with all the competition his scores aren’t enough to get him through, especially his English.
He was in a state school until last November and only joined in prep last year in year 5, he’s in the middle sets in maths and bottom in English.
I have weekly tutor but progress is so slow and time is running out.
The school says he’s really bright but needed that extra attention and the curriculum was different in state school so he needs time to catch up, but the issue is we don’t have that much time to get him to the 90% mark.
My question is that is it still possible to get in with 70%?
If he doesn’t get through do we get a chance of being on a waiting list? He is working hard but is also an Xbox addict which distracts him. Please advice me as I’m having sleepless nights and super worried!
