Would you pass the old 11+?

Can't you tell I'm avoiding the housework

I only got 70% as I didn['t understand the number multiplication questions and so couldn't answer them. I was good at Maths - perhaps I've missed something? I can't remember this sort of question on DS's entrance exam for independent school.

I did pass it. The original, 36 years ago.

I passed the 12+ (We like to be different in Bucks)

I took it in 1961 (I think!) and did not get a grammar place. At the time we had Secondary Modern, Technical High, and Grammar schools - I got to Technical High.

I think I would pass it now though

with practice - non verbal very hard though!

btw - it was quite different then - you had comprehension, letter writing and an essay to write and a separate arithmetic paper including problems.

I passed 30 years ago - the last year in town to go to a grammar school. Would be lucky to get my name right now.

I gave up, no way I could do that

71%. - skipped some of the missing number questions and the money questions because I couldn't concentrate on them with the dds around. I'm not sure if I would have passed it if I'd taken it at age 11 though. How many 11 year olds have 'slake' or 'conjecture' in their vocabulary?

It crashed me out half way through - obviously disgusted at my stupidity . I was struggling but more because it wasn't at all what I'd have expected somehow - a few practice papers might have helped . But all I can say is that I'm glad I was the first year of common entrance exam.

I got 76/80 -but it said that was 95 % & berries got the same score & 96%!
I wish you could see which ones you got wrong!
I went to grammar school, but it went on teacher's reports I think because I never took an exam. The year after I went, Labour won the local elections in May & the school went comprehensive the next September and from 3 form entry to 5 form, but as they'd already notified the ones who'd got in, they just took the ones on the waiting list as well
