11+ this September. How is everyone?

[SunflowerDuck]

My child sits 11+ in September. Just wondering how others in the same position are getting on?

We had plans to do a mock paper for each subject each week but er haven't done that. They've done some bits here and ther andare plodding through some papers this week.

I have the 10min tests we will keep it ticking over with and they are going to do an external mock test.

I am starting to get so anxious for them. They are naturally bright but we could have done more prep than we have...

Only a few weeks to go! I'm thinking of planning something fun for after the test. And maybe not do much the few days before.

Anyone else?

Good luck to you too! 🤞🤞

He passed! I can finally sleep at night again

Passed here too! Yes from the 3 grammar options 😅

Are you in Torbay too @livingthegoodlife? I’m now worrying that he’s not going to get a place as there’s no indicator as to how much he’s passed by 😬

Well done! Brilliant news.
As an aside, How does pass/ fail work? Is a pass not a guarantee of a place then?

No indication of how much passed by, nothing is certain until results are posted. Another waiting game begins!

So they tell you you passed, but actual results are separate? We don’t get pass or fail, just “you can have a place”, “you’re on the waiting list and stand a chance if people don’t take up places” or “don’t even put us as an option cos you aren’t getting in”

When do you get the next results?

No indication at all where I am in Torbay. Just whether you passed for the 3 available grammars. The one I want ds to go to has a similar pass mark to one of the others and there’s a third school with a grammar stream that has a lower pass mark. All I know is that he passed enough to apply to any of them. Applications have to be in by the end of October then it’s just waiting to until March. I’m a bit worried as absolutely everyone I know whose child did it passed. The people I know are almost enough to make up the year group alone 😬
