Strangely makes me feel better about lack of prep- not sure any amount would have been enough for those odds!

Definetly a taster session for Tiffin wannabes then! Also, with the early results candidates may as well have a go....if they get the score, apply for the school. That's what happened last year.
Good luck for tomorrow.

with 807 candidates for 96 seats the cut off could be even higher than last years 113!!

I believe 651 last year was a record. That's staggering.
Using this
http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... ks#p296050" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It would look like you need about 118 to be in the top 96, (I'm no statistican, and it may be a bit clunky since the score is an average of two scores.) last year it was about 116.
The actual cut off last year was 113. So maybe 114/115 this time round?
Of course, if Sonasona's predictions are that many are using it as a mock with little intention of applying then that will have an impact on the actual cutoff (in a good way).

Also, not everyone who applies turns up. Seems approx 50 each year changeind before the day.
