Anybody taking the 7+ exam this year? I have noticed there isn't a thread on it this year. We are going to be trying for St Paul's and Kings. At the moment we are really struggling with the comprehension. Anybody else in the same boat?

We got the offer too. Congratulations @Jesse21plus and @Nani72008

Nani72008 · 25/11/2021 12:53

Amazing! Well done CuriousMa too!

We are still waiting for the letter, cannot believe it!
Congratulations to all who received a big fat envelope :)

Same here. I’m wondering did they just send the offers yesterday, to other candidates maybe a bit later?

2minutesplease · 25/11/2021 16:14

Thanks god we are not the only ones!
We called to Admissions, there is a voice Mail claiming that the postage may take longer than 1 day and so we don’t call them before Monday.

Shehr · 25/11/2021 17:08

@Bellaumbrealla some boys also got rejections today so I don't think it's the case of sending offer letters first.

Hopefully!

Nani72008 · 25/11/2021 17:36

Gosh, that’s painful having to wait another day. Fingers crossed good news comes early tomorrow!

Curiousma · 25/11/2021 22:24

@muminwood sorry I just find time to write.

Yes, Some practise papers are unusually tricky especially newly published mocks.
I don’t think a 6-7 years old could do a question like D+J+F=W or 21C+5V=A.
I asked around and Current parents at St Paul’s think those questions are above the expectations.
I personally agree with @Shehr VR and NVR scores will be age standardised.

Shehr · 26/11/2021 10:20

Got the post. We are in too SmileSmile

@Shehr congratulations 🥳

Nani72008 · 26/11/2021 10:39

Congratulations Shehr!! 😊

2minutesplease · 26/11/2021 13:50

Yes for us as well!!! Cannot believe it, after all this agonizing wait!
Congratulations Shehr, and to your DS too!

Nani72008 · 26/11/2021 13:57

Congrats @2minutesplease! I think you said it was also your first choice? Are you local to school? Would be great to connect! PM me if so 😊

Curiousma · 26/11/2021 13:58

@2minutesplease congratulations 🎉

2minutesplease · 26/11/2021 14:00

Yes Nani, it’s our first choice! Same for you? We are quite local, like 15 minutes drive in traffic.
Thanks Curiousma!
Good luck to all who’s sitting St Paul’s tomorrow!

Nani72008 · 26/11/2021 14:35

Yes our first choice too (and the only one we are sitting). We are about 10-15 mins away in traffic too!

Jesse21plus · 26/11/2021 20:30

@Shehr @Curiousma @2minutesplease @Nani72008 congratulations!

Shehr · 27/11/2021 13:18

How did it go today for your DS?

OP posts:
Curiousma · 27/11/2021 15:23

@Shehr I can’t get any info from my DS this time. He just keeps saying it was ok. I think he got very tired.

@Shehr How did it go for your DS? Did you manage to get any information?

muminwood · 27/11/2021 16:09

Same for us. Couldn’t get much info out of DS. He seems to have left a few questions here and there though.

Curiousma · 27/11/2021 19:11

@muminwood Hearing from the friends lots of children couldn’t complete their maths paper or reasoning. Apparently maths was tricky.

2minutesplease · 27/11/2021 21:04

I know that VR contained 80 questions and math was about 14 (mine didn’t do all). My DS said that NVR questions were all of the same type - complete the pattern. Sounds weird to me. And they had a little writing at the very end too!
