Could you pass the 11 plus?
This was on the BBC website the other day:-
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7773974.stm a) What did you score? b) Is the 11 plus REALLY this difficult? I can't imagine a 10/11 year old doing this? |

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?
I did an entrance exam (never knew it as an 11 plus) to get into Heckmondwike, bloody horrible it was - I cried after the first of the 3 exams we had to take.
I did pass though and went into one of the best non private schools in the country... I know, would you know it, it turns out Im actually a bit of a brain not that you'd ever know it if you met me. HEWWWLLLOOO I've just taken your little test and got 12 out of 15 in 3min06 though.... so maybe first time round it was a fluke lol. Seemed pretty easy to me, but I would be impressed if a 10yr old could solve those problems. Last edited by Owenski; 20-09-11 at 08:03 AM. |

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?
a) 11 out of 15
b) The way the questions are wordered is in my opinion far too complicated for a 10/11 year old. Plus the questions are quite difficult (I got 9, 10, 11 and 15 wrong) |

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?
I got 13/15, skipped the two I got 'wrong' because my brain had melted. Not a bad score, but I can see why I failed it back as a kid!

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?
Pete got 11, and me....well lets just say I am more than qualified to teach any child under the age of four, how to be a brain box in their school life, I am fluent in goo, gaaa, and 1,2,3!
If I'd have had a go before my brain had been 'mummified' and mangled with mind altering drugs, I'd have passed, as I was the class swot through my entire school life. I think Dylan would sail through, and I am undecided wether to put him through the 11 plus, as he is an extremely bright lad, and excels in Maths and Science, well actually anything. The schools round here are crap, and the Grammer schools, although fantastic, I feel are rather bullyish, and hes a sensitive lad. I don't want to hinder his progress in education with a rubbish school, but neither do I want to progress him in a school full of toffs, and bullies.

Re: Could you pass the 11 plus?
I did take it when I was younger but don't actually remember finding out if I passed or not! No idea why, maybe I'd decided that school wasn't for me.
I got 12/15 and that was answering all the questions Owenski |
