12+ in Bucks
Please let me know if there are significant differences between 11+ and 12+ exams and if so, where can I get materials to help with 12+? Will 11+ materials suffice. This is for Bucks VR 12+
Hi Dada
Jed is absolutely right. Exactly the same question types, i.e. no harder, but 85 questions in 40 minutes. It just raises the barrier a little.
Applications for 12+ have to be in by roughly Jan 1st, and exams take place at central locations in late April. Check the Bucks CC website for this year's deadlines - I'm not sure if they have been published yet.
Also, be aware that County are now expecting 2 x Level 5 SATs as a bare minimum "entrance requirement" for the 12+, unless there is strong support from the Head and mitigating circumstances.
All the best
