Consortium test 11+

[katd64]

My son sat test recently (year 6). Recently diagnosed with hypermobility, problems with proprioceptive system? dyspraxia. Not really sure what it means for him yet so didn't realise he may have got help/extra time for test. School did say I could tick medical box on secondary application form but didn't mention actual test. Didn't finish test by about last 15 questions as fingers very sore, peeling and now has not done as well as expected .Notified a consortium test school but can't seem to help. Has anyone tried to appeal on similar grounds.? advice please.

Try the 11+ forum for advice , but I think you can only appeal on these grounds once the places are allocated in March

i think you're asking about independent school entrance tests?? I think the replies you're getting are about state school admissions.... perhaps give a bit more detail? I think you will be in difficulties re appealing any private school refusals to offer a place... they have their own entrance criteria and can hardly be expected to know about any special needs which might have led to special arrangements for testing if you didn't tell them anything! If it is a private school I should let them have all the facts in writing and throw yourself on their mercy in the hope that something can be done to reconsider your ds.
