11+ waiting for results

Hi there

My twins have both taken the 11+ in Bucks today. Results come out on 13th October, I think. It could really go either way for both of them. My biggest fear is that one gets in and the other does not (really quite possible).
Saw that last year there was a thread from parents during the waiting period and I wondered if anyone wanted to take part in a hand holding thread this year (for any county). Obviously have to be very careful what I say to DTs so would be useful to vent here.

Anyone else in similar position?

Fingers crossed for tomorrows results for DS2. Have been told that the email should be out relatively early in the morning. Cant get it out of my head.

Us too @WhatsGoingOnEh - driving me mad not knowing when!
Looking historically, could be this Friday 12th up to Tues 16th?

Soomaa · 09/10/2018 12:42

I'm back, too.
Tried my best not to think about the results for the last weeks.

We expect our first letter on Friday. Hopefully with good news for both boys.
The results for the other test will be posted anytime in October. Hmm I think last time they came around the 20th.

Congrats to the child who get in (sorry, I'm bad with namesBlush)!!!Flowers

Ours get posted ( no login) on the 12 th so could know on the Sat or have to wait till the Monday!

Holidayshopping · 09/10/2018 10:42

That’s crazy-why not just give you a date!

Ours opens at ‘start of business’ on the 15th. Not sure if that’s 8.30 or 9? Their opening hours are 9.30-3.30 though, so it could be later!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 09/10/2018 10:18

That Essex mix-up is bonkers!

We're waiting for Reading School results. This "mid-October" deadline is driving me nuts 😆 I'm guessing it means anywhere between say the 13th October, to the 18th..? Would you think that?

Holidayshopping · 08/10/2018 20:13

I’m not sure if I’m glad I know or not!

totallyliterally · 08/10/2018 16:30

If you look on the 11+ forum for Essex there are some and I'm guessing for each person they then told friends. Who knows.

I've decided I'm glad I don't know 🤷‍♀️ (not that I have a choice now to find out 🙄😬 )

Holidayshopping · 08/10/2018 16:26

I wonder how many people actually got in and saw their scores-it can’t have been many?!

totallyliterally · 08/10/2018 15:47

@crisscrosscranky oh wow, just seen in the 11+ forum.

Not sure if it's better or worse to know as you still don't know the standardised score

One more week to go

crisscrosscranky · 08/10/2018 15:22

@totallyliterally there seemed to be a glitch with the system that let you log in via the registration link and the scores were at the bottom of the registration link. No final standardised scores though - just he actual marks out of 60 (which in my DD's case were lower than expected- particularly so in maths; nearly 20% lower!)

totallyliterally · 08/10/2018 15:16

Just to confirm people in Essex found out their scores yesterday??? That aren't meant to be out till next Tuesday???

crisscrosscranky · 08/10/2018 14:46

Mixed feedback at the school gate this morning- only one other parent logged in and they were being secretive about the scores (possibly so as not to make me feel worse Blush) - other parents who didn't get in were just complaining about difficulty of the maths paper and suggesting the average score this year will be low. Lots didn't manage to finish the paper.

Holidayshopping · 08/10/2018 12:12

At least it’s only just over a week to wait now!!

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 15:47

Have PM'd you @Holidayshopping - it's offline again now so I expect there was panic this morning!

Holidayshopping · 07/10/2018 15:22

Someone is going to be seriously in trouble at the CSSE office this year!

Anyone else managed to see something this morning and want to compare notes, please feel free to PM me. Maths was seriously disappointing:(

hoistmeupjudy · 07/10/2018 14:25

Congratulations highbeam! That's great news 🍷😊 I'm glad the pressure is off for you now.

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 12:45

That's brilliant @Highbeam - you can look forward to next Tuesday GrinGrin

Highbeam · 07/10/2018 12:29

I have just managed to do this also. I am a little taken back ds has done really well. Very good in English but his maths score is very high ( almost 90% of the paper correct). He said he thought that he had done well but I took that with a pinch of salt. All we have ever heard from school is that if he really applied himself he could do really well.

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 12:27

Link is offline now- someone busy be in trouble!

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 10:40

I'll drop you a PM @hoistmeupjudy

hoistmeupjudy · 07/10/2018 10:37

Thankyou- @crisscrosscranky I managed to do the same and snap! Ok in English but low maths score. Oh well that's that then. Someone told DH that they alternate between making maths hard one year and English the next. Guess this year was maths. Everyone I have spoken too seems to think the maths was harder this year.

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 10:00

@Highbeam @hoistmeupjudy you should be able to do the same- use the registration verification email, log in then click print.

crisscrosscranky · 07/10/2018 09:59

Through a bit of CFery and using a link in an old email I've managed to see DD's raw scores.

I knew the maths paper was hard but am shocked at how low her score is. English is good but not enough to bring the maths up to a pass I don't think. Gutted for her but what will be will be.
