Managed 13/15 and had 4 mins left. All our class passed the 11 plus (and there were 44 of us) and went on to Grammar schools, we also just did a couple of past papers in the weeks before the exam. Happy to discover that having 4 choldren has not killed all the grey cells off!!

13 out of 15 - couldn't work out the maths code ones, well I got one of them but not the second two. Still pleased though

9 out of 15. poor but I failed it first time round but now have a better job and wage than the people I know who passed it. so who gives a flip lol

tebster

14/15 for me.
The last one had me baffled too, as with many here

13/15, couldn't get head round the 2nd and 3rd missing number questions. Though the way some of the questions were worded made the questions harder to understand than they actually were, spent half the time trying to work out what the hell they were actually asking lol

My 10 year old daughter has just completed the 11+ and we are awaiting the results in Feb.
The first 25% get and A
The next 5% get a B1
The next 5% get a B2
The next 5% get a C1
The next 5% get a C2
and the remaining 55% get a D
The test has 75 questions and the children have an hour to complete it

What a rubbish scoring system. If 100 chimps took it, 25 would get an A.

<cynical_mode>Or is that the point? </cynical_mode>

That was quite hard, got 13/15 and I passed the 11 plus and then passed an exam to get into a private school, many years ago. I was thinking there may be some truth in the vino kills of the brain cells but my son who's in Uni and had great pass grades in IB only matched me.

I dont think it is too bad of a system, out of all the children in N.Ireland the top 25% get an A grade, there has to be some kind of a system to sort the children (not chimps) out.
The only unfairness I see is the children who have the ability and dont perform well on the day, taking into consideration their marks over a period of time seems a fairer selection method to me.
