Should we review or appeal later (Bucks)

Post by iyesr »

My NI was unsuccessful in the 11+ this year - 107 and 114 with a final score of 114. Completely devastated. :(
She has done extremely well in school and is 3+ years above the average reading age and 136+ for maths.
Her recent attempt at the Birmingham Grammar exam got her a score of 238 and she did well in her Devon mock too.
The recent move (3 months ago) from west country and our job changes with mum living away seems to have affected her more than what we expected.
Should we review or are we better off preparing an appeal?
Please help!

We can point out the pros and cons:

- but I'm afraid only you can decide what to do.

See B50c:

Any evidence that would help establish a causal link? For example, has the school noted any signs of unhappiness?
