11 plus support thread for exams 2024

638 replies

ElvenDreamer · 11/10/2023 08:55

Hi all,
Anyone fancy joining me for for an 11 plus support thread for those yr 5s who are probably just starting a bit of prep now ready to sit exams in September 2024?

State grammar is the angle I'm personally coming from but all welcome no matter if you're applying to private selective, state aptitude tests etc.

This will be my 3rd and final time of going through this and I've found support threads here really useful the previous times.

Congrats @Danascully2

Looks like both Trafford results are going to be next week at the earliest!

So long to wait, It's agonising. Well, for me at least. DD seems to have forgotten all about it!

Great news @Danascully2 congratulations!

Danascully2 · 11/10/2024 16:53

His result should get him a place at our nearest grammar -will obviously have to wait for confirmation in March but we should be ok, not too much suspense.
Hope you get what you want in March.

SquashSqueezee · 11/10/2024 16:29

Thanks everyone! Found out at least one of my son’s friends also has a solid pass so fingers crossed will get a place. Going to get the application done this weekend then just the long wait to March until it’s official.

Great news @Danascully2! are you in an area where a pass is enough or a super selective? I only know of 5 kids sitting the Grantham GL as we’re in next county so joined what results are like on the whole.

Danascully2 · 11/10/2024 16:23

Good luck everyone!

Danascully2 · 11/10/2024 16:19

We had some good news just now :)

Results are in and he’s passed with a high score so feeling confident he will get a place. The relief is immense and I cannot wait to tell him after school! Such an emotional rollercoaster and thinking of everyone still waiting for results

Brilliant news! Congrats!

RandomUsernameHere · 11/10/2024 16:10

Fingers crossed for everyone getting their results today. I have not heard anything, so assuming it will be next week.

MyWiseCritic · 11/10/2024 16:09

ah that’s good to know, I’m gloucestershire too and been starting to anxiously refresh my email. Wish it was today though!

RandomUsernameHere · 11/10/2024 14:28

Congrats, amazing news. Still waiting here, we've been told the results should be out Monday, so one more weekend to wait!

Araminta1003 · 11/10/2024 13:57

I am wondering if the new Beta Form for Bexley will work for results from 4pm.

On Bexley Borough facebook page they are saying today, and that they have already been sent… but there are a few comments and no-one seems to have received them yet..

I am so scared! My son has a banding test tomorrow so if he's doesn't pass, I'm not sure I want to tell him in case it upsets him!
