11 Plus Exams Forum

It has been on the cards for months now and everyone has been sticking their heads in the sand and ignoring the situation. 2010 clearance of university spaces will be very slim this year as spaces are not available.

I have heard so many conflicting views from politicians but it appears that they have sanctioned thousands of new university places but have failed to back it up with the funds for these places, so many universities will not open the doors to clearance. It's going to be a bad year with many disappointed.

To all you out there trying, good luck... many will get through.

Dare one accuse this government of obfuscation?

obfuscation?

nervously waiting for Thursday's results - DD needs 2 more A's in Chemistry and Biology for Nottingham (she has Maths A already)

Not going through it until next year but just wanted to wish you all Good Luck for results day, really, really hope all your DC's get what they need.
Good Luck!

I have all toes crossed..... !!! I expect the problem is how to distract everyone until thursday morning....

I am nervously awaiting Thursday's results. My DS needs an AAB for Sheffield but, for reasons best known to teenage boys, barely failed to open his books in the lead up to the exams. He is a very bright chap who has, to date, sailed through life on a lovely calm sea - I am truly hoping that Thursday will not be his first dismasting!
