Does anyone have any experience of special arrangements? As the whole 11 plus process is not very transparent, I wondered whether any element of conscious or sub-conscious bias would creep in and impact negatively on a candidate who had special arrangements, particularly if they had a borderline score (in Stage 2). What do others think?
The results are all processed by computer, which wouldn't know about any special arrangement, I would have thought, the scores are just inserted into a computer programme.
Thank you. Yes, I think that would be the case for Stage 1, but not Stage 2, where I think the results would have to be marked by people.
I just didn't know if it would be held against the candidate in some way if they had special arrangements, e.g. extra time. This may sound a bit conspiracy theorist but I just wanted to get thoughts from the forum.
