Hi everyone

My son will be taking the 11 plus Sept(??) 2008.

I have been testing him on the Bond papers for Maths, V.Reasoning and Non Verbal reasoning. He has told me today that Non Verbal is not part of the exam but is replaced by English. He has got this information from children at his school who have recently taken the exam.

Where do i find out of this is true and what the exam topics for his 11+ exam will be? We are from East Lancs.

Also what form of practice is the most preffered and where do i obtain these papers?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, it'll depend on the school. Try posting on the Lancashire forum. I know some in East Lancs apply for places at Ermys in Skipton. I can help you if you are one....
All the best

The school in question is BRGS (Bacup and rawtenstall grammar school) if that helps.

Many thanks for the help so far.
