When your child enters the 11+
examination room you want him or her fully focused on what is going to happen
and what the outcomes will be. A few years ago we had a wonderfully bright girl
who sat two eleven plus examinations. One she failed dismally. The other she
passed with flying colours. The one school was a girls school and the other a
mixed school. She voted with her pencil in the examination!
