Reliable Mock Test?

Why? You can learn just as much from a practice test at home or by asking their teacher for the weaker areas. Bucks is not super-selective - places are allocated on distance from the GS not on how high the score is [assuming 121 is reached of course]

Isn't 121+ quite hard to achieve though. My 10 year old ds is not as academic as some in his year, I think another years maturity would do wonders.

That's why the results are standardised by birth month.

Isn't it just by 2-3 points extra?

It isn't 'extra' at all necessarily - it does not work like that - each birth month is compared so across the cohort there's a similar proportion qualifying.

The only disadvantage is to those born very prematurely who have no account taken of that.

Oh that's good!
