Thanks!

10+ interviews are meant to be 25th and we received an email last week saying we would hear by 19th. Sigh.

So starts another day of chilling...

derivaz · 17/01/2018 11:00

😂😂 Yes, feeling super relaxed! Hahahaha. Longest fortnight of my life (ok, waiting to get the boy out in the first place felt longer, but still....).

Teddyking1 · 17/01/2018 13:21

10 plus results out
No letters sent

derivaz · 17/01/2018 13:27

Out where?

Richmond001 · 17/01/2018 13:48

Not following either, what does out mean? Me = confused

jkhj · 17/01/2018 13:57

No email, post or call for us..

Teddyking1- have you heard?

Teddyking1 · 17/01/2018 14:16

Some people have received a no letter today in post

Clueless01 · 17/01/2018 14:21

Actual interview times for 10-plus may not come till end of the week if our experience any guide. And they do appear to be running through 11-plus first.

derivaz · 17/01/2018 14:23

Oh, I see what you mean. Sorry, I completely misread your post.
Hmmm, I would have previously assumed that the phone calls would proceed the letters, but if 11+ calls were still happening yesterday, maybe not. Goodness, so stressful. In that case I certainly don’t want to see postie tomorrow! Fingers even more tightly crossed for all of us. 🤞

CountessDracula · 17/01/2018 14:35

My dd did the 10+ a few years ago, the letters came out after the 11+ ones. Also just to let you know I thought it was a no as it was just a letter and the 11+ people were getting a larger envelope but it was a yes so don't be alarmed by the size of the letter!

Richmond001 · 17/01/2018 14:55

thanks very much for the much needed info :)
I had assumed that letter is always a no......

Richmond001 · 17/01/2018 15:13

We've received a no letter.
good luck to everyone else !

jkhj · 17/01/2018 17:35

No letter for us too. We will ask for feedback and give it a go next year. Good luck everyone else

Teddyking1 · 17/01/2018 22:24

No for us too

derivaz · 18/01/2018 12:09

So sorry guys. We still haven’t heard anything, but there has been a tendency for our post to be given to the wrong house with alarming regularity, so still expecting the worst.
Apparently the dc’s of the staff at kgs are frequently given a no at 10+ then get in at 11+. So it is obviously pretty brutal and fair. We will try again next year with feedback if we get a no.

Greenleave · 18/01/2018 12:24

We havent got the expected post yesterday neither, it might be today, I will find out once I got home. It was still a great exam experience for her knowing she needs to pick up VR (and fast) and work on exam technique(never done an academic exam and never had a multiple choice test(left unanswered questions blank). We havent started on NVR and couple of schools we targetted will have NVR tests. For us right now, we are seeing my husband specialist tomorrow to decide on his urgent treatment which takes our mind off 11+ and anything else.

Greenleave · 18/01/2018 13:49

Just received an interview email now. This was very unexpected, she must have made it up with her English and maths which were her strength(missed few last VR questions completely when got stuck and time ran out and just sat there trying to sort the stucked question rather than moved on). I am sorry for all “No” however hope to see you all again next year when the main battle starts.

helloallllllll · 18/01/2018 14:37

Well done Greenleave! Out of interest did you get an actual date/time- We're still waiting for the 11+ interview info!

derivaz · 18/01/2018 14:37

We have got one too! Stunned! Wonder if it is general or (presumably in his case) English. 🤔 still in shock. I’m so pleased for you Greenleave. Hopefully it will give your dad something positive to focus on whilst you DH is in hospital. X

derivaz · 18/01/2018 14:37

Dd not Dad. Stupid autocorrect.

derivaz · 18/01/2018 14:39

No date or time. Will be in touch in few days Helloallll.

helloallllllll · 18/01/2018 14:41

Thanks! and well done to you too!
