13 + test

[lancs2000]

Hello, does anyone know how old/ which school year a child must be to sit the 13+? My son is 12 and in year 7 at the moment. The closest grammar school is holding 13 + exams at the end of this month, we were hoping to try for it.

The 13+ exam would usually be for boys going into year 9 and would usually be held in autumn or January in year 8. These seem a bit late ? have they got some spare places ? or late takers?
