Regretting not letting dd try 11 plus. Is there a chance she may have passed?

then there's the ridiculous SW London 11+ which is barking mad competitive.

I live in SW London. Only superselective grammar and private schools are madly competitive. There are dozens of private schools here in SW that are struggling to survive and the benchmark is not very high

Like anything you might regret in life, it might have and it might have not, but doesn't make any difference.

Depends where you live. There's 11+ up and down the country and then there's the ridiculous SW London 11+ which is barking mad competitive.

For the London one, not a chance. For other areas, maybe.

You could always enter her for a space in Year 8. It would give you time to help her with her maths. However NVR would possibly not form part of the test anymore. It would also very competitive still.

When you say her weakness is maths, is she currently at the expected standard or working towards?

Remember that passing the test is only the first step; you also have to consider the experience of the child once they enter the school. Just because they enter some students for Foundation doesn’t mean that they have the patience or skillset to support a pupil who needs more time or support.

Around here, the majority of children entered for 11+ are tutored. So if they didn't pass, then I don't think it would be likely that a child who doesn't find maths easy to get along with would have passed.

Having said that, there isn't a pass as such (around here). Different scores are acceptable to each school that uses the system.

Are you talking about state or independent 11plus? If it's an independent school and they do Foundation level maths it can't be very selective? And I don't think any grammar schools do Foundation level maths? ( but I may be wrong...)

So as many children failed the 11+, is there a chance you could reapply now? Have you spoken to the admissions team?

No point in dwelling in what could have been. But that being said you could consider doing an in-year transfer at independent school. You would still need to take an exam.

Would you consider reapplying for the 13+?

If her maths is weak then don't give it another thought. You wouldn't want her to have scraped through somehow and then struggle.

There is no such thing as one type of pass of 11 + exams. Different schools set different level of expectations.

If you are a rich lady who wanted to place a child in an average private school then of course she could have passed the exams and have been accepted.

If you live in Bucks, Kent and any place where are country grammar with the acceptance as high as 24 perc then maybe if she was tutored on maths she would also pass

But if you are thinking about superselective grammars where 1 perc or less is accepted or superselective private then no she would've not get in, and it would not be not the right type of school for her

Don’t beat yourself with what it could have been or not. The 11+ is a competition so just passing is not good enough. Your daughter didn’t have to sacrifice extra hours or didn’t have to live the disappointment of doing her best and not get any reward, so her self esteem may be in a better place that other girls that sit the exam.

This is a bit of a pointless thing to wonder about. You’ll never know. Presumably you made the choice for a good reason.
Given what you’ve said I think it’s unlikely she would have passed. The only kids I’ve ever taught who have passed 11+ were exceptional in all areas.

There’s absolutely no way of knowing is there? Even the brightest children have been known to have an off day when they sit 11 plus. sometimes they don’t see questions on the last page or don’t leave enough time. You can’t go back in time so all you can do is concentrate on her future.
