How WAS GRAMMAR SCHOOL EXAM (KE BIRMINGHAM 5.11.2010) ?

Post by KAPEED »

Many people have prepared for this year for the Grammar school exmination. I am talking about the admissions for the King Edward VI grammar schools in Birmingham which held on 5th Nov 2010.
Just wanted to know from the forum

a) How was the exam this time? Very Easy, Easy, Medium,Hard, Really Tough
b) Which subject was easy, which was tough?
c)What your kid says after coming out of the centre?

Comments welcome!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately there will be an exam in the very near future for those children who were sick or unable to take the exam on the day - so I don't think it is yet appropriate to post detailed feedback on the web.
However as a parent of a child who will take the exam next year, I am hoping that come February time, parents will post information on here!

Hi KenR

When is the second sitting or has it already taken place? I have some information and will PM you in due course when time allows so parents of perspective children know what it was like especially for those considering BV or Sutton Girls as it was a new format for them this year..

Think 1 of the alternative sessions has already been held but there may be others for late admissions which can be held into Jan.

I you want to forward the content info I will collate with the other info I have already received and publish mid Jan

Ok will do KenR. DS has got QM exam next Wed so will have more time after that as taking a well earned break :D before starting prep with DD for Nov 2011 which I know is not going to be as easy as it has been with DS :roll:

KenR

Have you received much feedback on the exams?

Is the time now right to post info on the forum?

I'm looking forward to seeing how much of it followed a similar pattern to previous years' papers and how much was new.

Thank you :)

it's been such a long time since that exam that I forgot that we still had to share views of that day...offers are already coming in from the indies for those that sat them..
