15 out of 15, and only took 5 minutes - can't believe it!

We still have grammer schools where i live , My son sat his 11 plus last year 1700 kids sat for the exam . They can travel from anywhere to sit them. There were only 120 places and 345 children passed the exam. The pass marks change each year depending the pass average. We were lucky my son did get a place and the school is actually our nearest school. One child that also got a place llived in India until August came over took the exam and is now living with his grandparents to come to the school. The whole system stinks and it is true my son even says that he is noticing that some kids have been so tutored all they know is how to pass the exam but can't do half the work.

That's exactly what I have said several times. If you've been tutored then you've cheated.
Why would anyone want to push their child into a school they're not good enough for?
Why would anyone want to spend £20 an hour doing it???
Status I guess, but your child's well being should be mor important.
Here the pass rate for 11 plus remains the same year after year; 236 out of 282 is the pass mark, although borderlines can appeal. They also add a mark and a half on for every month after september your birthday is, which is ridiculous!
My daughter got 277 and my son got 262, both have Oct/Sept birthdays and neither were tutored.
My daughter has just got 10 A star GCSEs in the 3 sciences, 2 languages, maths, 2 Eng, RE ICT and an A in DT which is in the process of being upgraded to an A star due to school !!!! up. None were re-sits. That's what grammar school kids SHOULD be getting. No kid at grammar school should be getting less than a B in anything! But they do, even after several resits, some of them, bec ause they are not really up to it.

When I was 11 I managed to pass with full marks twice - still no idea how! Especially since my parents said that the most I ever got on a practice test was 60%

Link refuses to run on my computer, shame

Oh - I was never tutored, did a few practice ones at home but that was it. I got 10.5 GCSEs from A - C and failed my A levels miserably due to depression and lack of motivation... but maybe I shouldn't have been at a grammar to do them as I'm not the smartest cookie in the box, eh? :rolleyes:

12/15 I Always was better at the English than the numeracy. We didn't have grammar in our area as we lived in Brent.
It did state 'Grammar beckons' at the bottom with the result so not sure if that would have been enough to get through but I don't know if I would have passed at age 11 anyway as my maths has improved since leaving school.
