58.5, seems abit low. Did manage to miss 3 questions but can't see that making much difference.

Kneebs 31-01-2004 02:05

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
Well, my score and age makes me a C2, which puts me into the top 45% :eek:

Oh dear...but i got lost off with nouns, verbs, adjectives - i mustn't have been paying attention at school :dunce:

Nor 31-01-2004 02:13

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
Ah, didn't check that, said I'm an A aparantly. Wierd, it can't be a percentage then.

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
It doesn't say its a percentage anywhere that I can see - I scored 60 (Grade A) on the timed one. I printed my certificate as well. :D

59 (grade A) for me - it was the timed aspect made it harder and I made a couple of silly mistakes through rushing. Some answers were ambiguous - like the poem on the beach, I chose that the sand was stinging her feet because she had no shoes on, while the 'answer' was that the wind was so strong :shrug:

Jerrek 01-02-2004 22:59

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
71 (95%)

That is an easy test for me, but I don't think my sister will pass it.

John Smiths 01-02-2004 23:19

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
59 = grade A yay!! Yeah for those who haven't check the score is not a percentage...me thinks it's the score outta 75...

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
Well I got 65 - what on earth were those rhombus plotting grids? if xy =p what is the 3rd co-ordinate? It baffled me, but clearly thats part of the present curriculum.

Paul 02-02-2004 00:10

Re: would you pass the 11+?
 
I would have got 63 had it not been a strict 30 second timeout - it moved on three times as I was getting the answer :(

well i feel i am entitled to, after all, all we get day in day out is how easy our a levels gcses waht not are compared to the "good old days". its highly demoralising, and ive said before i would love to see how some "older generation" people (you know, 40+ who had to walk 15 miles through the snow in shorts etc etc) to sit my a levels. few seem to realise that a levels nowadays are taught totally differently to how they were back "in the golden age". fair enough you had to remember things like parrots back then, but we get taught with *shock horror* real-world examples now... totally different ;)

as an aside my dad is 50 and still cant use a slide rule... he is a accountant. shows what good slide rules are/were ;)

*stops grumbling

43.8% Failed it years ago, still failing today...Possibly due to installing a virus checker on the other machine and missing questions!

Er, I passed it when it was for real in England. No way am I going to do it again and end up with egg on my face by failing it! :)
