Anyone's DC do the Latymer Upper exam today?

I believe they will send letters to those invited to interviews around 24-25th Jan

can people help me remember what are the next steps? When should we hear back from the school? I know the interview is on 27th, but I cannot find any further info.

DD also sat the exam this week and found maths far easier, though maths is her forte. She wasn't very happy with the English paper 😔 but we are not English speakers at home so we kind of expected that.

Does anyone know how many are called for interview? I heard 400 (?).
Any idea how many offers they make? Most DDs I know have St Paul's or G&L as their first choice but also sat LU as second or third choice, so I guess I am hoping they will either over offer or go to waiting list ( LU is our first choice)

If it's any consolation, I have DC at LU and neither of them finished the maths papers at 11 plus. Please remember there is no extra scholarship exam at LU, so the paper is designed to be "extended" to identify potential scholarship candidates. Also, they seem to build NVR into the paper as there is no separate reasoning exam. The format may not be that familiar / practised so they have to think in their feet.
They interview about a third of candidates and they put more store on the interview than being a maths genius, I would say, so good luck!

My son sat the latymer Upper and seemed fairly content. Maths is his forte but he said the English comp was a little tricky regarding the wording. Strangely he said he found it less tough than Dulwich the day before! I don't think he had a good day at Dulwich, said the English Paper was really hard. I guess they will have good days and bad.

So glad someone started this thread, as I was wondering whether I should....

Yes, DS sat it today, and found the maths very difficult, and he is normally pretty good at maths. He was pretty low when he came out, despite being generally laid-back about things, the horror of the 11+ included. He came out of Dulwich yesterday full of beans and declaring it to be "easy" (not necessarily a good sign...), so today was a bit of an eye opener for him.

Not holding out a lot of hope re: the chances of an interview to be honest. Latymer was always the option that we only stood a chance at if he was having a good day.... and I'm not sure today was a good day!

Latymer’s Math is pitched far higher than the Consortuim papers.
The only harder math papers are St.Pauls.
This is all for girls schools as I have no idea about the levels for the boys schools papers.

I found it funny that they had a question about rugby - something about runs and trials and scores.
She said - so confusing 😂😂😂
I reassured her that most girls would find it confusing too!

Thank you for starting the post!

DD also found the maths difficult (she as sat 3 exams so far, and this was the hardest by far, so she says). She said 'Mummy, I don't think I've got into that school' - she did t say that about the other two. Hey go. Onto the next! 😱

My DD attempted less than 2/3 of it, but then this was always a probably hopeless stretch for her.

We celebrated her hard work (during the test, at least!) with lunch, bookshop, phone games and good spirits. She was happy to have met and chatted with a very nice girl there, so no lasting damage here...

So I think DC who are used to finishing everything and getting it right (not my DD!) may well have done very well relative to others, even if they agonise over multiple unanswered or wrong questions.

I think the maths is meant to be particularly "stretching" so don't worry if he didn't finish. I don't think many do. What are his other choices?
