Good Morning
Got the post card confirmation (for 12+ app) this morning
Sent off our copy of the 3 "5s" SATs - photocopied onto school letterhead. Hoping this is going to be OK. And DS 11+ score of 118.
All we need to do now is sit & wait to see if test is offered....
Meantime - have read a few posts about answer sheets being different.
Ambridge - anyone...? Could you send me a copy please? Any work books your child did - Did you do a revised answer sheet? Is there anywhere on web that you can buy/DL specific 12+ stuff?
Any / ALL Information would be gratefully received.
PM me & I'll send my email address.
Thank you [again].

Once you get the go ahead for your son to sit the 12+ they will send you a pathetic pack of sample questions and an answer sheet for you to play around with.
However, I will see if I kept ours from last year, so you will be re-assured that it is no big deal...
The questions types, 85 of them in 45 mins, are of the same standard as the 11+ just a few more in a bit less time and the only comment my son made was that rather than have an example of how to work out the next section of questions, they sometimes had a wordy explanation, which was fine and very straight forward.
I found my son's knowledge in general had moved along big time since the 11+ so he found the NFER papers easy, Susan Daughtry good, the new short papers from The Tutors on this site would be worth purchasing.
Hopefully, as you were a near miss before, your son will have remembered the basic techniques and you will just be refreshing him on the various types - we tended to talk through the question types more and looked together about any he got wrong in practice, and just made it all quite laid back.
I will pm you once I have found our pack from last year, but once you get back into 11+ mode
I hope you will be pleasantly surprised at how much more mature they are

Thank you Ambridge - He does seem more able and confident (plus he had a sparkling report from Form Tutor at recent parent's evening)
Hello Patricia -
Please forgive me - Probably missed a whole section on 12+ info
Bright Sparks in Susan Daughtry range....?
We're going over SJD's Technique & Practice books [edit: Plus graded test papers 1] .... Do the Q's differ that much that it warrants buying another set of books by same author?
We looked at IPS when preparing for 11+ (and I didn't like the look of them - think pages were too crammed...? Can't remember..?)
Are AFN & Walsh geared more for 12+ then?
Look forward to your advice (or point me in the right thread direction... I'm forever going in circles on here !)
