Indefinite - how did your DS do in the pre-test last month?

I wish you all the best for the pre-test, but it is my understanding that for Eton, even when pre-selected there is an expectation that the boys pass their CE. I would strongly urge you if your son is successful, to clarify Eton's requirements for entry. My own DS just completed CE and we are waiting for his results for his senior school although unfortunately not Eton. Only you can be a judge of whether he is too young to board, but my own DS started at 10 and has never looked back and he was previously in the state sector.

CE is tough, even both my husband and I (we have numerate degrees) struggle with the odd question on the level 2 maths paper.
