Sutton Test on Saturday
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 1:59 pm
I would be interested to know how anyones son thought they did in the exam on Saturday.
My son said he really struggled with the maths - He reckons he missed out half of the questions (Hope hes exaggerating)! However, he said the english and verbal reasoning were very easy and there was loads of time to spare.
My son was the only boy from his primary school who took the Sutton exam so I dont have anyone to compare with.
This has been my only experience of Grammar entrance exams. (Not sure that I like it). My son worked really hard to prepare for the exam - This was his choice after attending the opening evening at Sutton and liking what he saw!
I have no clue about pass marks or percentages. I am very laid back about the whole thing. I stumbled onto this site today and admit that I had no idea how much stress could be involved for some people.
Yes, we all want our children to do well but first and foremost I want my child to be happy and confident. I know my son will do well in whichever school he gets into because thats the sort of boy he is.
He could well turn out to be Grammar School material but the question is: Am I?
