Hampton 10 plus - is it worth doing?

[TWmum28]

Anyone out there had their DS do the Hampton 10 plus? Any regrets? Given the small changes of success did it knock confidence? Trying to decide what to do and can see pros and cons. Anyone with personal experience or views it would be great to hear them?

And of course I mean chances ... ! Thank god I don't have to do an English exam

There are lots of recent threads on this, just use it as practice, don't think about getting to interview stage.

Unless your DS will get upset if he doesn't get a place you may as well as it's good practice.
DS did it last year and was lucky enough to get a place but he was very relaxed about it and wouldn't have been upset if he didn't. The whole process was well managed.
DD did KGS 10+ a few years ago and didn't get a place and was fine with that. It was really useful for her to sit an exam and made the 11+ process a little easier.
But DS has a friend who didn't get a 10+ place at another school and he was devastated so it does depend on the child. I think he had been really confident and his parents hadn't really explained the odds etc.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

@TWmum28 I am currently going through the same thought process for my ds for the Hampton 10+ as you mentioned in your original post.
Could I ask how you got on? I know it was 2 years ago now, any insight or help is gratefully received
