Thank you. I’m trying. I’m a single parent and work full time, so don’t have much time for home tutoring. I guess we’ll just have to see. It’s tough. What is the % that get through the first stage?

Any tips for the tiffin multiple choice first stage at this stage??
Lots of people who go for the mocks do not apply for the same schools as you - they could be doing Kent and/or private schools. So those results numbers are only generally related to the real competition level at the actual exams.

In our case Tiffin Boys was too far away and never the first choice, although boys did sit the exam.

With the first child (although this was some time ago, not recently) we only had 6 weeks to prepare, worked at home every day doing sample tests, and she has passed the exams successfully. So this is not impossible.
