Could you pass the (old/abandoned) 11-plus?

You —

Thirty-two years after most grammar schools were abolished the 11-plus exam which controlled entry to them still divides opinion among parents and teachers. But how difficult was it?

Click this link and try a 15 question version for yourself - click the start button and you get 10 minutes to answer 15 questions. (no cheating by working out the answers before hand!)

I tried it while skiving off at work and I got 10 out of 15 (but I didnt use the full 10 minutes).

Can you beat You?

same. but i got 8 and 10 wrong.

they stopped this because people said that you could be trained how to complete the tests and getting a good score didn't necessarily mean you were intelligent, just that you were good at doing these kinds of tests.
