Re: 11 Plus
I failed it the first time round, so I am not about to do that again.

Re: 11 Plus
I managed a respectable 7....
 Have to admit that some of those questions were quite difficult.

Re: 11 Plus
Six out of eight, here. Got the who/whom/what one wrong, and the number sequence (still don't understand that one).

Re: 11 Plus
I got 7 and would argue that I should have had 8
The one about the brush I chose hair, which to me is equally as valid as paint  Good to see when I passed all those years ago I've maintained my brain level even if my body hasn't kept up

Re: 11 Plus
I got the Who/ whom question wrong.
I was borderline first time round and my mother chose to send me to the sec. mod.!! I am conversant with the current 11+ exams and I think the one the BBc is using is harder but then it has less choices thereby making the probability of guessing the correct answer higher. The Stockholm question definitely discriminates against dyslexics and it could also be argued that the paint question does also. |

Re: 11 Plus
I got eight out of eight. If that's a true representation of '11 Plus' questions then exams are definitely not easier now. They're really much the same.
