Although I now live in Lincolnshire in England, I was born and brought up in Northern Ireland and my nephew is nervously waiting for his results this weekend. I just really wanted to wish everyone good luck. My daughter found out she had passed her 11plus in October and was thrilled. My son didn't pass 4 years ago and is thriving and loving his local comprehensive. Please don't be too disheartened if you don't pass.
Good Luck xx

Hi Ronnie
It looks like the 11+ this year (ie school year 2009-2010) will be of two types. It appears that one exam will be set by AQE (Association for Quality Education) and will consist of questions in English and maths. Their website contains a lot of info. The other test may be set by NFER and may consist of Verbal reasoning type questions. It is thought that maintained sector schools are setting this test.
Regards
Stephen McConkey
