11 Plus Exams Forum

For 2015 entry?

Also, do we know if this year's 11+ is going to be on a par with last year's?

Thanks

There is a lot on this forum about what scores came down to, the Admissions departments of schools I have found are hugely helpful. It will also depend if you are in or OOC.

As regards next year - we haven't a clue. The best clue will be in what ever is the general pass mark and extrapolate from that. For example it was 320 this year so siperselectiv r score was way down as a result compared to year before, perhaps exacerbated by people thinking they had no chance so didn't put down the school as a choice. Also one difference is new admissions criteria especially for OOC which will affect score needed to get in.

I think Judd is down to 361 at the moment, Skinners a few points lower but not exactly sure. Of course you won't know final cut offs until Sept, as you need to allow for the holding onto a place and not rocking up on Day 1 brigade.

In terms of similarities to last year in the test, the format is identical. I reckon they will make the Maths easier to finish this year, and the English more difficult.

I don't think this is the case for Judd and Skinners for 2015 entry, both of these are scores only.

Thanks! So still wait and see then, how annoying! I wonder if the schools will release a statement this year like they did last year about the scores needed being much lower/higher than previous years.

Skinners was 359
