So, the BBC's 11-plus - how did you all do?

I'm refusing to do it. It would be very bad for my head-state right now if I failed ?

Huh. You're supposed to get 10 minutes, but when I press start it counts down from 6 seconds then tells me I've run out of time. ?

I will admit that I looked at it, tried the first question, thought "this is crap, it doesn't work in Safari", and was about to close the window when I noted the big start button...

It will only give me six seconds to answer the questions ?

How weird. I got the full 10 mins.

[potential showoff warning]

14/15 in 4 mins 32 sec (I timed myself) ?

If anyone can explain question 15, I'd be glad to hear it - I got bored and guessed (wrongly)

It's two sequences. Numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7 increase by 2 while 2, 4 and 6 increase by 1.

Is it 22? Two sequences alternately- one is +2, the other -1. If only it would let me fill it in ?

The odd numbers (1st, 3rd, 5th) increase by two, the even ones (2nd, 4th) by 1.

Thanks all.

Back in my day they wouldn't have dreamed of overlapping two sequences.

Witchcraft, I tell you !

15/15 in 3 mins 16 s, sorry Pieman!

Yes, but you have a younger, more agile brain.

I also only got 6 seconds.

It took me longer than 10 minutes

and I got the last one wrong.

I is fick, innit?

[outrage] The cheek of it ! [/outrage]

I'm doomed. I can't even work out what the first question means ?

10/15 within the time limit but in my defence i was at work when i did it and my colleagues were yapping away in my ear lol

I got 15/15 and within the time limit but I only had about a minute and a half left - I got stuck on 10 & 11 for ages, I couldn't work out the patterns at all.

12 out of 15 here and I needed the whole 10 minutes. I wasted valuable time by going and closing my office door so I could pretend I was concentrating on important work stuff though.

I got 13/15 - in under 4 minutes. I got 15 wrong and no 12 I think.

I got 14 / 15. I skipped one question as I wasn't sure and forgot to go back to it at the end.

I got 15/15 but I struggled with the codes question for a good few minutes, just couldn't get my head around it. I've always liked number puzzles though ?" />

I got 10 out of 15. I failed it when I was 11 so no wonder, my brain is another 19 years older!!!

15/15...don't know how long it took though because I didn't time myself - about 4 mins I think. Mind you, I did pass the 12+ (as it was then in Bucks) so I would have been pretty stupid if I hadn't passed this 11 years later.

12 out of 15 here - under the time limit, but don't know how long. In my defence I had 'Jack's story' or something shooty bang, bang in my ear and H saying 'did you see that', 'oh my God' etc ?

You've scored 15 out of 15.

?

Though it did take me just over 8 minutes. Numbnuts, you are a freak! (In a nice, brainy way, of course!)

I did pass it when I was 11 and for some strange reason, I really love tests like that and it made me feel all nostalgic!

14/15. I also got bored with the last one and guessed!

12/15 - that'll do.

Did the real thing back in the day - and then the 13+ school entry exam to get into the grammar schools where we moved to. Verrry odd school!

Oh dear.

I'm tired. Is that an excuse?

I was reading far too much into Q1 I think, took ages over it and then gave up. Then I rushed. I took ages over the codes one, thought I'd done it but then it was wrong so I guessed. I did OK on the others though.

H and I got 15/15 working together! I think if I'd done it alone I'd have got about 12.

I'd have done better on literacy questions, I'm not that great at looking fir numerical patterns, esp after 1/2 a bottle of wine!?

I did actually pass the exam when I was 12 and went to grammar school in Buckingham - that was a VERY long time ago though!

I got 15/15 and it took me just under 6 minutes although that does include an interruption from H part way through?

I did pass the 11+ back when I was 11 though so I would have been a bit worried if I couldn't do it now!

I got 13/15, not bad considering maths is one of my weakest areas.

13/15 - I was easier when I took it as an 11 year old to get into grammar school
