Does anyone know what the English comprehension was about today? My exhausted daughter put so much effort into the detail, she forgot what book it came from!

My daughter couldn't remember either! She said she found the English paper difficult. What did anyone else think?

The kind lady at the csse has just confirmed that the late takers (including my son) will be taking different papers for the 11+ test in a couple of weeks, she then went on to say that the papers would be weighted in the same way and be of the same format. needed this clarified as some of the comments on here (everyone has their own opinions i know) were missleading and this has worried my son and i, plus many other late takers. Best wishes to all the late takers sitting the 11+ soon.

The above quote from guest was from2006, please do not post details until we can get some clarification. Posting details of the test will, if it is the same text, disadvantage children who took the test today

Thanks Caz1985

As soon as I said it her eyes lit up and said "That's it!"

Also, reflecting an earlier comment, she also though the maths was less tricky & the VR more difficult than previous practise papers

My son confirms that some of the English questions did require ticks and crosses - which he did :D
