My DS sat his QE exam and he thinks he did horribly after missing a few questions on the English section.

Any parents know how many marks can be dropped on average and still get in? I haven’t been able to find any others who sat the test this year.

Can we start planing moving nearby if my son got 255?

Hi All,

I'm looking for advice on buying a property in Potters Bar, Borehamwood and near by areas to commute to QE Barnet. Could anyone with first-hand experience please help me understand how reasonable the commute is, how safe the area is to live andhow long it takes in morning traffic.

I appreciate any other area suggestions within 30 minutes of commute to the school.

Hello, you’d be better staring your own thread - I think most people on here are at the application stage and won’t have experience of the commute yet.
