Queens Bushey PE Aptitude Test
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 3:27 pm
The Queens Bushey PE Aptitude test is this Friday and about 300 kids have applied for 13 places ! what a nightmare. Any way we have been training hard over the last few months, but have little idea about the standard of the "competition".
Has anyone got any experience of this test, and how 10 - 11 year olds perform in it, especially in relation to getting into Queens ? As a comparison my lad has managed
25 situps in 30 seconds,
Can do the flamingo test for 1 minute each leg,
around 13 seconds for the plate test
around 21 seconds for the 5 m shuttle run
stretch and reach about 5 cm
34 laps on the 8 minute endurance run
about 1.5 m for the standing jump.
The Endurance run is the most difficult for him to gauge his performance because even if he were to come first in his group of 5, as there are going to be up to 60 groups, coming first will not guarantee a place.
