Thank goodness

Is this a good time to admit that I am a primary school teacher?

15/15, but then again I'm a few years beyond that curriculum.

15/15 in 47 seconds.
I did guess the last one though, as I knew I was doing well enough already and wanted a 1/4 chance at a good time.
Can I drop this spam here please?

You're not supposed to read through and prepare your answers
before the timer starts

11... This is what kids need today
Plunged into a situation where intelligence, rather than homework, will test them.
Still I got 97% on my ECDL last night *smugs*

So you can turn a computer on
use powerpoint for a bit, and then turn it off again. Well done.
sounds like I'm being mean and sarcastic, but let me tell you I've been a professional programmer for the last 10 years with IT graduates aplenty around me and I assure you that these three simple steps are way beyond the fucking wit of most of the abject retards I meet on a day-to-day basis in the industry who have somehow managed to fluke their way into professional jobs.

Quite tough thou, I can see how a 11 year old would find it hard.

But guessed the last one as I was running out of time.
I was one of those poor kids who was tutored to death for 2 years in to being able to answer these questions in my sleep though :(

Even though I made one stupid mistake caused by not really paying attention. But then again I've been like that through most of my schooling.

So nearly everyone
beat my score.
And I teach 10 year olds.
Is it any wonder the country is going to the dogs?

Buggered up the code ones because I didn't do enough cross-checking.
What's a pass mark anyway? Three? Four?

About time I got a second chance. I totally flunked it when I was actually eleven, although I think that was just the English section, not so much the maths.

Didn't get to do Q15.
I failed my 11+ by quite some margin... standardised score of 83, which is about the 23rd percentile - that's proper thick innit *cough*

Would have blown my brains out if I were attempting that at 11, though.
Granted, the 'Merrcan system isn't exactly up to snuff.

I ran out of time doing it. Though I am a smidge drunk. I'll go out on a limb and say that eleven year olds usually weren't when they sat this. Possibly.
Though the other thing you'd have to ask is how much teaching the test went on before this - how many similar sort of questions did they get asked in a mental arithmetic test stylee befoe they actually sat this? It's not too hard when you're used to having the thing thrown at you, but when it coems to a sudden gear change it will throw you.
*shrugs*
Now, where's me vodka?

I got 15/15
but I expected to get it done with more than 2:44 remaining.
These are the kind of questions you get in IQ test which are famous for not showing how clever you are, but for how much time you waste learning how to answer them.

Had seven minutes to complete the last one, still failed. I passed the first time round (at the grand old age of ten), and interestingly these "old" questions seem easier than the version I took at school...

My try went exactly the same as yours
Though I could hear an audible 'clunk' in my brain as the questions changed from words to maths. Man. That's pretty bad.

We didn't do the 11 Plus at my school in Salford, but I found this pretty straight forward. Mind you, I am 37...
