Bucks review or appeal?

[Garnett]

Hi Etienne
Can you advise what the advantages are to missing out the review and going straight to appeal. It seems to me a risky strategy - if one were successful at appeal, it is likely that there will not be any places left at the school of your choice.
Also I have read somewhere that if you go to review/appeal, your child is not eligible to sit for the 12+. Is this correct?
Many thanks.

The arguments are set out in the Q&As. For example:
http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeal ... aneous#e32" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeal ... aneous#e33" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeal ... aneous#e34" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
We make the point that the main advantage of a review is that a successful outcome is known in time for the initial allocations.

Also I have read somewhere that if you go to review/appeal, your child is not eligible to sit for the 12+. Is this correct?
Many thanks.

Not true, as far as I know!
