11 Plus Exams Forum

My daughter scored 118 and 112. Will the lower score also be taken into account? Will I have to justify why she did worse on the second paper?

I think you need to give more info on where you are - without context people cannot offer relevant help

Oh sorry this is all so confusing. I live in Bucks and my daughter will hopefully have full backing from the school . This is my third appeal ,( third child )and I have now come to the conclusion that my kids can't do 11 plus exams!! I thought we'd be third time lucky !!

I've added 'Bucks' to the title.

Not sure if this is for a review, an appeal, or 'don't know'!

The information will be in the paperwork, and form part of the evidence, so any panel would be fully entitled to take it into account.

It's up to the panel, but if there was an obvious explanation, you would most likely want to put it forward for consideration.
If you're not aware of any explanation, best not to offer any!

I have no idea yet but I think review, I don't think I could bear to wait until the summer term . I don't really have a strong argument either so am relying on academic evidence and backing from the school which I am sure I will get.

I would caution against basing your entire decision on that!
