11 Plus Exams Forum

I am sure that most parents are relieved that the 11+ journey is over but we should all remember that there will be some late sitters. Please can we not discuss any part of the exam i.e. timings, sections, if the exam was easy or hard or comparing it with different published material.

Out of interest are late tests in all regions the same papers as the scheduled tests?
I'm fairly sure my friend's DS sat a different paper (late paper) to my son last year? This was Berks region
Thanks

For as long as I can remember, the main date and reserve date papers for the CSSE (Essex and Southend) exams have been different. The papers are written in-house but one can imagine that everywhere would have to have backup set in case of a major leak (didn't that happen in ?Dorset ?Devon somewhere fairly recently?).

I am not sure about other regions but for Bucks there would re-use the paper

QE boys use the same paper and all the CEMs are the same paper on the backup date. DG
