There's a lot in what you say Lons. I seem to remember the 11+ (1950 it must have been) as a bit like ordinary exam in format.
'Sums' to do, Essays to write, General knowledge questions to answer, and Comprehension questions. Where I fell over was Maths. At the time I found them difficult. Later of course, I began to get a glimmer of what was going on, but it was too late to go to Grammar School, something I yearned to do. I wanted to be a Doctor would you believe?
But there you go. I chose the RN to get out of a factory. I did a good thing, for myself, and of course I managed to augment my school woodworking experience there! So all in all, I came to the surface heads up! :mrgreen:
