My son is also in year 5 and taking 11+ this year. we are looking at Kings in Gratham as that is our catchment although he is extremely sporty so Carres may be an option as well.

Its good to have someone else in Lincs :)

Hi Loo :)

My son loves his sport, so Carres is perfect for him. Have you started work with your son yet?

Here is a link to an old thread where there is a discussion of which practice papers people have found useful:

and to the sticky above which tells you about the format and length and timing of the tests:

You have plenty of time to prepare. Any further questions, do ask.
Thanks Alex, I'm off to read those links now. :)

I had read those links Alex but was still confused, obviously doesn't take much :lol: .

This forum is great, I am beginning to get to grips with it all. I certainly know a lot more than I did before I found this site, thank you.

Sorry it is still confusing! Just ask questions when you need to and someone will be able to clarify.

Jester,

Im lucky in the fact my DS school does do some work with them, so yes we have started. Hes actually quite good at VR ( just lack of concentration at times = silly mistakes :o ) I think he finds NVR harder though!!! I thought it would be the other way round in boys!!

Ive spent all weekend ( like most) at sporting venues either getting horrendously windswept, ice cold or soaked through - all for the love of sport :shock:

Hi everyone, can some of you in the Lincolnshire area give me a suggestion as to the best books to buy/practice papers that are relevant for this Years exam etc.
Any info is much appreciated.

Hello Lincoln Imp,

Have a look at the information posted on the "Schools" section where there is a basic guide to which publishers cover the types of material relevant to the Lincolnshire tests:

You will be able to find most of the books here or on Amazon or maybe in your local bookshop depending on where you live.

This link is to an old thread which names many of the books/practice papers which people have found useful (or not) in preparing for the Lincs tests:

Good luck.
