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.

Re: would you pass the 11+?

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

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.

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.

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!
