woodford appeal - is there any point?
my daughter worked very hard in a short space of time, to sit the 11+ unfortunately she did not get in.
her overall score was 205.
not sure what this means except that she is off by 21 marks to be offered a place (maybe).
is there any point appealing?
any help would be appreciated, right now as i cannot think straight
thankyou

there were no illness or family probs prior to the exam.
i was involved in an car accident which may have affected her, it certainly affected me tutoring her apart from that i cant say.
this is the first time i've been thru the 11+ and am finding it oretty confusing. the question i would like answered is: is her score too low to appeal? her nVR let her down it was around 46/75, VR 70/90
any help pls?

Dear shah
A gap of 21 marks sounds rather a lot, but no one can give you a definite answer because it depends on the strength of your case.
You need (1) evidence of very high ability [Q&As, B11], and (2) convincing extenuating circumstances.
If the school would confirm that your daughter's routine school work was affected following your car crash, that might suffice for point 2 above.
Another consideration is that Redbridge (if it's Redbridge that is responsible) has a below average success rate for appeals. That shouldn't stop you appealing, however, if you have a strong enough case.
