Watford Boys help
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 10:30 am
HI
So we have taken a slight U Turn in our 11+ choice of schools and are currently considering Watford Grammar as our top choice. I have done my best to acquaint myself with all the information but was hoping for some clarificiation.
1. Of the 40 odd spaces available for the inner catchment would anyone know how many apply for a space? I know the exam is for a group of schools, so am not sure how to work out the odds of gaining a space or the correct score.
2. Are the CEM VR papers multiple choice? I have seen the BOND CEM papers and they are not as so wasnt sure if it was the same format.
I understand CGP are a good choice for practice. Are there any topics specifically that need covering?
3. Whilst we have been hoping to avoid tutoring from recent discussions it seems it is unlikely for the child to gain a space without some support. I would therefore like to explore both options of hiring a tutor familiar with the Watford admissions paper or guidance on what to cover and then possibly sitting a MOCK. I have no idea where my son would be in the list, he is currently schooled outside of Watford so not many children from his school apply.
Thank you all SO SO much.
Any parents with feedback on Watford Grammar Boys would also be much appreciated.
