Were the practice tests nfer or the school practice tests?
I am feeling somewhat more relaxed about scores needed after reading these posts. I was beginning to think we didn't have a chance. Whenever we test with the real time limits there is always silly mistakes from time panicking and always a few guessed at the end which keeps the scores way below those magic 90's that others quote. My child has only done one practice test at school so far and has only marked half of it . He said it was easier than the nfer tests he does at home and that the papers had been the same ones used for years. I'm not sure how much notice we should take of these results.

Bexley also differs from some other areas as currently the mark that is used to decide if a score is selective is the aggregate score of the four standardised results (VR NVR Maths English). Every child in the borough is entered to sit the 11+ unless their parent withdraws them and the pass mark varies from year to year. There are also a considerable number of selective places (840 ish) as there are 4 grammar school plus one bi-lateral school in Bexley.

We're in south east kent, and the children will have some run-throughs leading up to January, I am told.

We are in SE Kent. The only practice papers done in school last year were the official ones. These were done on Monday, with the actual tests on Tuesday and Wedneday. It was a hellish week. My understanding is that the schools are not allowed to do any other practice papers.
