11 plus test
Does anyone know - Will any of the question types be repeated on the second paper that were on the first paper?
We can work out which ones were not on the first paper, but wondered if any are repeated?
Thanks

My daughter has a great memory so she is sure about most of them but as per your advice we will just take the questions as they come up on the next test, and she will do one more practice test this weekend so as to keep the momentum going and keep the methods fresh in her mind.
We can confidently predict a few of the types due to come up that weren't in the first test but for obvious reasons cannot say on this site!

hi i think it is not relevent to this topic but just curious and worried that's why i am asking this qstns.my son did practice test paper 1 today (at home) from familiarisation pack (we live OOC and he is sitting for 11+ tests in 10 days)and he got 7 wrong. he did anormous test papers before and always scored 76+/80. could anybody tell me how your DD/DS has scored in these tests please. it would be very helpful. i don't know how my son is going to react as he had to go after finishing his test and i just finished marking it. thanks.

Hi Guest
Do you mean that your son did his first practice paper (called Paper A) or his second one - called Paper 1. (Designed to confuse, of course!!)
Paper A is generally thought of as easier than Papers 1 & 2. However, nerves at doing real papers can really play a part in this, so don't panic.
On telling your son, only you can judge how he will react. Some children will be spurred on to new heights by a poor result this time, whilst others will fall into a pit of despair.
If he is at risk of the latter, consider being "economical with the truth" on how he scored. I have done that in the past - just added a couple of marks - and it has worked very well.
