Helo All,
My DS is currently in Y3 and will be going to Y4 in September 2014. I am based in Basingstoke, Hants and am planning to appear for the 11+ entrance exams in the following schools
Slough Consortium
Reading Grammar
Burnham Grammar
I am willing / OK to relocate to somewhere in and around Langley. Do you think relocating is something that must be done? Especially considering most schools have some kind of preferred areas?
Secondly how do you go about preparing for these exams? Currently my DS is doing Bond 11+ for 8-9 and is fairly competent with it. Do you think just Bond 11+ books should be good enough? I guess not. Any suggestions on what book(s) one has to follow?
Also I hear a lot about 11+ coaching. Is it a must one has to enroll for these coaching sessions?
