11 Plus Exams Forum

This old post contained a link to the Headteachers instruction booklet for administering the 11+ exams (viewtopic.php?t=2418&p=23313" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Sadly the link no longer works.

I presume there is a new set of instructions and wonder if we have a link for this?? Just so I can see what SHOULD be happening and prepare my child accordingly!!

This is less about your child being prepared than you being aware of what should be happening at the school, especially if something goes wrong during a test.

Please don't take your child through the whole thing!

Many thanks - exactly what I was looking for. However, it doesn't appear to give any guidenlines for 'warnings' of how long they have left (ie, half way through, 5 mins, 2 mins etc). Is there a set format for this - or is it up to each individual member of staff/school?

The instructions for invigilators are in Appendix 3.

That's really helpful - thank you

From the booklet, nice sense of humour.

Musically a very able year.

But maybe showing their age, like me.

Name of child Recommendation Attitude
Marc Bolan 3 2
Billy Bragg 1 1
Belinda Carlisle 2 1
Elvis Costello 3 1
Ian Dury 1 1
Albert Einstein 2 3

Annie Lennox 1 2
Joe Strummer

What's also worrying is they all seem to take the 11+ every year

Can't really imagine Albert getting 2:3 ... wasn't he always bottom of the class?..

A remarkable achievement from beyond the grave in several cases!

(Oh, lawks! You don't think that 11+ forum mods have to do the same thing for all eternity, do you? )

OT ...but it reminds me of one of the Type Z questions in the IPS papers involving individuals named Frank, Betty and Jessica, and another one with the names Rodney, Albert, Cassie, Raquel and Derek!
