Hi. My nephew failed the 11+ for Stretford Grammar & i'm considering entering him for the 12+ test to start year 8 in Sep 2010. The school does not provide any past papers and info'regarding the test is limited to a 1hr paper in Eng' & Maths. Where can i get hold of 12+ papers from ...any tips about would help....

If I were you, I would first need to consider the following.
1. By what margin did he fail?
2. How does he feel about doing the 12 +?
3. If things don't go well how will he cope?
4. How much extra pressure, if any, will you be putting on him to pass?
