There were examples of 11+ in a couple of UK papers a few days ago asking "Could you pass 11+?" - if anyone is interested to see what the exam is like. I failed some of the "pattern " tests. Coaching at least lets kids know what to expect and makes them more confident in the exam room. If they practice the format it can only help them. Also article said they have aim for 90% mark because it also depends on the number of places available and not on the actual mark so the very best only get places. Exams in themselves are often not "fair" anyway.

Wiltshire also still has grammar schools. Currently Teresa May is wanting to open more grammar schools up and down the country. Our eldest narrowly failed his 11 plus, to the surprise of his teachers ,but this may have been partly due the fact that most of the other parents had engaged private tutors for the sole purpose of getting their kids to pass !! We didn't get the memo and I only found out about it afterwards !! lol To be honest I feel like it's a form of cheating and if your child doesn't already have the required academic levels they will struggle keeping up once they get to the school..managing to pass the 11plus is only the beginning so it's best if they do so on their own merits, in my opinion..
