Hi Monar.
No tips sorry, just that we are also doing exam for Eltham. But it the last we are doing (after 11+ and couple of other Indis) and not very nervous :D
We went through one interview already and it was very friendly. The quiestion asked were about his hobbies, what he is doing when he comes home from school? What he thinks about the school he is applying to. The weird quiestion was: What would you do if you become a Headteacher for one day??? Good luck

Good luck for the exam and interview . Your DS should be fine if he has done other indie exams as most selective south london schools have the same format. The interview is also quite straightforward - books he has read , hobbies , future ambition , what he likes about school and What other schools have you applied to ?! Of the schools you have applied to, which one would you like to attend .Although my DS sat other exams , I made sure he we did practice on the bond papers and past papers from other indies and the Bexley papers . It was a stressful period for all but glad its all over and he is enjoying Eltham . Very best wishes to you all.
