Tutoring....Affordability

[hermanmunster]

Country mum,

From one of your earlier posts, you said that your DD gets it and you don't. If your DD is willing to be guided by you (and this forum), why don't you just try and do it together?

Really good point Cocoa. TBH thinking back to when I did the 11 plus and entrance exams I had no trouble "getting" the NVR and VR but when it came to NVR my parents wouldn't have know where to start at that time (probably if they had been able to study it for a while but it didn't come automatically).

I suspect some of it is to do with age at first seeing it - they now use a test to select would be medics called UKCAT (didn't use it in my day - cue violins....) - I have looked at some of these and I would be utterly hopeless if I had to do it now, however if I was 18 I would probably think it was easy peasy.

So when you are about to be put under by an anaesthetist that looks like they are off a youth training scheme, one should be grateful it's not some experienced but incompetent old codger in their forties?
