I've discovered i'm not very good at waiting for news. Term ends today. Has anyone heard back about second interviews yet or is it likely to be early January?

Just received the invitation to the academic scholarship assessment. Does anyone know how many are normally invited and what the interview would be about? Also, what's the format of comprehension (story, poem etc?) and the composition (story, discursive etc)?

Does anyone know how many will be invited to 2nd interview and of these, what percentage would get an offer?

I've no real idea but...having looked through the other threads, some figures that came up were maybe 60-70 boys getting second interviews with, very roughly, a 50% chance of success? Apologies, i'm likely feeding you completely inaccurate stats and I guess, a lot would depend on exam performance and whether there were many boys with discrepancies/areas of weakness that need to be explored further - that's my understanding of why these interviews happen anyway.

@11Plus2022 fingers crossed! Thanks for that tip.

I had a look at last year’s thread. Interview invitations came out on 14th Dec last year. So there is a good chance the admissions staff could still be working next week

Nothing here either. Not sure what the hold up is given they have everything.
