I've said it before...

The week before the 11+ is a very dangerous time to be a pet or grandparent.

It's also the time of year when many employment, financial and matrimonial disputes either start off or come to a head, yet luckily they almost all have been resolved come the time of the appeal - or strangely, sooner if there isn't an appeal.

Twins are relevant if oversubscription is the issue, but not where the issue is non-qualification (unless you have grounds for arguing that one twin has lived under the shadow of the other, and this is an extenuating circumstance that explains underperformance).

You could mention the other twin briefly - not as part of your case, but in the hope it might just elicit a bit of sympathy from the panel!
IQ 128, Verbal Comp 125
Ideally I'd be looking for something around 125+ in nationally standardised tests, so these are respectable scores (just).
