Hi,
Two of my daughters sat the Loreto entrance exam: one nine marks under, one 10 above. We are out of area category 4, and I feel breath and depth of maths meant. the exams were challenging for them. With daughter 1, she went to Explore Learning and I worked through CGP books/KS2 mixed maths at home. I regret not getting her a tutor - she was under prepared and resistant to working with me. I don't rate Explore Learning. With daughter 2, I didn't want to do more than Daughter 1 for the sake of family harmony (!), so again no tutor and no Explore Learning, but found 11+ Explained by GL Assessment. Going not the exam I felt it was hit and miss.
Anyway, by some miracle (we're 11 miles away) Daughter 2 has been offered a place - encouragement for other Category 4 hopefuls.
Hope this helps
