Hello all, this thread continues from the previous "Upcoming Girl's Independent SW London Schools 11+ Exams" thread set up by @Oceane11Plus.

@PatoPato cleverly noticed, message slots were running low for the epic long thread as above, so all chat now continues here...

@PatoPato I recall that the WHS wait list moves quite a bit; PHS not so much. And I guess some of the super-selectives will have very short wait lists in general (as well as their offer to places ratio being small).

But who knows this year! Shock

To those worrying about Google meets, if you have a Gmail account you can set up a practice one from there - just go to Gmail on a desktop site, and there should be a meet option down the left-hand side.

It is really easy, but we've found it's still better to have a practice run - calling each other from different floors of the house has been a popular activity recently! So many different platforms and they all use a different one...

Just did a test on the Google Meet - super easy BUT.....DD looked really fuzzy & unclear on her old laptop which has come as a bit of a shock to me, I had no idea, so I'm now trying to reconfigure the limited tech options in our house to get her a bit clearer.
Hating all this remote stuff - we are at the mercy of hardware, software, wifi & broadband.

Thanks for setting this up. Glad I found you all Smile

Clearly the pandemic and being stuck at home is freeing up more brain space to be angsty about all of this! Nicer to be angsty together though!

Thanks @MumsRule20 love the fact we've reached 1,000 messages and only the first half of January! Grin

Thanks very much, @MumsRule20! Lurking in what I hope is a supportive fashion - congratulations to everyone who got interviews at LEH! Hope they go well.
