All characters in this blog have no existence outside the imagination of the author. There is no relationship between any eleven plus tutors or any publishers. These numbers are not even inspired by any group of eleven plus children, past or present. The mark range and the number of boys are pure invention.
| Mark range | 0-10 | 11-20 | 21-30 | 31-40 | 41-50 |
| Number of Boys | 4 | 25 | 55 | 63 | 74 |
| Mark range | 51-60 | 61-70 | 71-80 | 81-90 | 91-100 |
| Number of Boys | 72 | 55 | 32 | 9 | 3 |
If all 392 fictitious boys took the fictitious reasoning test then it would be the work of moments to group the results.
Would your eleven plus child be able to represent the figures graphically?
Would your eleven plus child be able to comment on the shape of the figures being affected by twice as many boys taking the paper?
Would your child be able to offer a reasoned explanation of why the figures may have been different if 392 girls had taken the paper?
Do questions of this nature allow a bright eleven plus child to show his or her ability in a very different way to slogging through multiple choice questions?
For example:
How many boys scored between 21-30?
A 73
B 34
C 55
D 18
