13+
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2008 1:50 pm
Don't worry, it is not for me!!!
A friend of ours' child who is at a local private school would like to try and get into an Aylesbury grammar in time for Year 9 (Sept 09).
They do appreciate places are few and far between at this age but their query is...what is the 13+ really like.
I could bore them senseless about the 11+ and 12+ but don't actually know anyone who has sat the 13+, whether successfully or not. Are any 'guests' lurking on the Bucks site who have actual experience of the 13+ and would be prepared to come out of the closet and shed more light on it?
Are the questions really the same as 11+ (although the kids are almost three years older?) and is it 90 q's in 45 mins?
Do they sit in a 13+ room altogether to take the 13+ (certainly when DS took the 12+ there were no 13+ candidates in the same hall?).
If anyone has any comments, I would really appreciate it.
