Calling all parents who’s ds sat the 11+ today... ds said maths was super hard and not the usual questions, he said he couldn’t finish the paper. Wondering if it was the case for the majority or he just had a bad day...

Thank you @anewdecade. They are sending straight yes or just interview yes?

anewdecade · 15/01/2020 09:05

I know someone who got a hampton Yes and someone who got a No- both late yesterday afternoon and both late in the alphabet.

R272727 · 15/01/2020 08:59

Hi did anyone else get any no emails from Hampton or RGS

Surbitonlady · 14/01/2020 23:38

@lifeisnotagame. Thank you!

lifeisnotagame · 14/01/2020 22:58

I think 800 for the 11+, maybe more including 13+ etc.

lifeisnotagame · 14/01/2020 22:50

surbitonlady. I think it's half of boys who sat (have heard the range us 800-1000) get an interview, then offer half again with some on wait list

mummy2aprince focus on the exam tomorrow. Try not to let your DS sense any angst. You have a good spread of schools which is sensible.m. LU is notoriously hard and more competitive than even Hampton purely based on the number of children sitting - location and the fact it's co ed, so view that one as a bonus.

surbitonlady I'm not sure that's right in all cases. My DS missed out a question and didn't get a subject interview. Maybe it depends on a combination of final mark and questions missed?

Surbitonlady · 14/01/2020 21:56

I’ve just been told that you get asked for a subject interview if you miss out a question.

Does anyone know what the stats are for interview to offer?

MrsCongeniality · 14/01/2020 21:47

Nothing for 13+ either yet.

Jbliwecd1 · 14/01/2020 21:46

Thank you for letting me know, DS123! So nerve wrecking...

Ds123 · 14/01/2020 21:45

No - we have not heard anything about the 13+ nor have others from our school who are very likely to get an interview.

Jbliwecd1 · 14/01/2020 21:30

Hi everyone! DS sat Hamptons 13+ (not 11+). Has anyone in the 13+ group heard anything yet about interviews? Thank you... So so nervous...

ripple11 · 14/01/2020 21:07

@Getoffmyunicorn that makes sense to send them out by school. They are going to talk tomorrow/the next day... so it's fair they all know one way or another?

R272727 · 14/01/2020 21:02

Anyone got a no in first half of the alphabet?

R272727 · 14/01/2020 21:01

Thanks @GetoffmyUnicorn x

GetoffmyUnicorn · 14/01/2020 20:53

I got told they send them out by school they currently go to!?! Not sure if that’s definitely true but the other boy from our school got the email at roughly the same time.
R272727 Ours just said interview, nothing about maths x

TaupeAndTeal · 14/01/2020 20:53

We haven't heard anything either.

(FWIW our surname is first half of the alphabet.) They had over 1000 boys sitting last week so it will probably take a while to get all the emails out.

I would imagine all staff have gone home now so they will probably continue with the emails tomorrow....

🤞

coffeebeanchocolate · 14/01/2020 20:51

R272 no news for us. DS sat in Group 2. Our initial is first half of alphabet.

R272727 · 14/01/2020 20:45

Thanks @Ami01 and @somekindofmagic

coffeebeanchocolate · 14/01/2020 20:43

Surbintonlady, thank you for the info. Waiting is so stressful. Good luck for interview!

R272727 · 14/01/2020 20:41

Nothing on our end so far Confused

R272727 · 14/01/2020 20:41

Also do all interviews say math questions?

R272727 · 14/01/2020 20:35

Do you think all no’s went out today or is there some alphabetical order those with no’s were you on z’s pr a’s? Dreading to look at emails next few days!!
