If there were any accident during the test we will automatically add it to the Selection Review papers before the paper work goes to the panel.

They should use that in one of their own 11 plus exams in a 'spot the grammatical and vocabulary errors' question.

Ha ha! That did cross my mind too!

Will you all forgive me a brief, self indulgent, woe-is-me post please?

I can't believe DS got within half a mark and I am going to have to fight so hard to get him through this. So many "if only's"....

I know it's hardly life-threatening stuff but I'm just having a moment

In the 'old days' when they had two tests I knew of a child getting 130+ on one and 100 on the other; they qualified on the 130. They did not have to prove anything about ability!

It is difficult when you are so close to have to demonstrate beyond any doubt that your child is of GS ability when some who qualify would not be able to find similar evidence!

Just hang in there

You can gave as many moments as you need, the anonymity and solidarity on here allows you to let it all out, so go for it!

Thanks both.
It just feels like the whole process is one heap of 'unfair' on top of another.
If his friend hadn't been removed from the room....
If his school was more ambitious....
If he'd just got one more question right....
If the head was more supportive....
If I'd known his writing levels....
If his levels took his July birthday into account....
Argh!
Oh well, I'm sure I will have more fight in me tomorrow, just feeling a little beaten today.

You have every right to feel like you do

There must be some expert somewhere that can challenge the rounding down decision, I would have completely lost the plot if that had happened to my DC

It's barmy isn't it? DS wants to go to the appeal and sing them the rounding rhyme
