Any feedback from boys who sat the 11+ at Habs or MT's?

my DS is ...threatening to rip up any book remotely linked to the 11+.

My DS had his scholarship interviews yesterday (different school). Last night he amused himself by throwing anything remotely 11+ related he could find in the fire!

Thanks for this - I laughed out loud!!!
On a serious note, though, it does show you how much stress they've been under - poor little mites!

Aren't Habs and MT papers checked by hand?

Curious on how many students sat the exam and how many examiners would be checking all those papers and how much difference in marking style that would make (for English)...

Thank you! I found out from the admissions office at MTs that the papers are marked very swiftly - the boys sit the exam on Tuesday and they meet on Friday (tomorrow!) to determine who will be offered interviews. DH spoke to HABS today and she was sealing the envelopes as they talked, ready to post first class tomorrow!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I feel like I'm holding my breath.

By the way, 300+ sat for HABs and MTs was only slightly less than that.
