That is not true - some tutored children will be over-stressed and others will have been taught the wrong stuff anyway.
I guess so. But from my limited experience of my friends and friends of friends etc, all of the children that were tutored have passed the test. Maybe they were one of the lucky ones?
They may have qualified anyway?

How do you define 'tutored' here? External tutor? DIY?

And apologies if I am going against the grain of this forum, but it needs pointing out that those that are tutored are at an advantage.

For what it's worth, I DIY'ed it with my DS. So please don't think that I'm preaching the virtues of the tutoring industry.

DIY is tutoring ... in my experience paying gives you no advantage.

Yes of course!
I rightly or wrongly define 'tutored' as those being externally tutored.
