Lesson in the post - what do you think of it?
Hi,
Has anyone used their service?
I am working fulltime and I have a younger child who just turned 3. I looked at DIY but collecting materials, buying books, downloading games... and the choices are endless. To be honest, I don’t have a clue of what level I should be aiming at!! I had looked at the ‘Lessons in the post’ website but I am sceptical but like to hear your views.
Thanking you in advance

Never heard of it but suspect you can do better yourself if it's a national enterprise. The 11+ exams are county specific and there is no point in prepping stuff that won't come up. This website is (I think) the most useful resource there is. Check out what you need in your county's forum. Heck, you can even buy the stuff from this website's bookshop if you're looking for a one-stop solution.

Hi First timer,
Yes, you're probably right. I found out about the 'lessons in the post' from here and thought if it is recommended here, someone must have used it?

I must admit I spent ages and ages reading other people’s advice and guidelines here. I am actually overwhelmed by the information available here.
Thanks

Had a look. Seems like an expensive way to DIY it. £30ish a week for a year adds up to a lot. Especially as there's no actual teaching going on. You could save a fortune by buying the how-to books and the practice papers relevant to your area. Either way, it looks like you would need to put some time in yourself.
