+1. Interestingly I would suggest this has actually made home DIY more feasible and leveled the playing field versus those who were previously crammed with VR/NVR.Stroller wrote:I'm glad that the focus is shifting towards English and Maths because they are useful regardless of the outcome of the 11+.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more with both comments. Also agree with Stroller's point that a child's motivation is crucial for 11+; there is no point in making someone go to a selective school if they don't want to.SunlampVexesEel wrote:+1.

It felt like I hit rock bottom; suddenly, there was knocking from beneath... (anon.)
Re: Self-preparation - achievable or I'm too naive?
It depends mostly on your child, honestly. Some can just go into the 11+ without a word of preparation and be offered a place, and others can't.
