It really annoys me, my brother has CMT and there is a weekend expecally for him and he found his gf there who also has CMT.

I have High functioning Autisim and there is nothing for us, no weekend meetup that takes place every year. Wouldn't it be great if we could atcually have something like that, i might of met a girl if that had happened

    It's not designed to pick all rounders, it's designed to pick out the most academic children, that's why they don't include other subjects. In effect the 11 Plus (or 12 plus) is somewhat of a badly written IQ test in that it does test IQ to a level, but it has some flaws in the methodology that means it's not a true IQ test.

    Depending on which perspective you look at the 11 plus it's either an advantageous or a badly flawed test.

    It's interesting to note that in secondary schools, that take the children who fail the 11 plus, there are many talented artists, musicians, linguists, historians, and sportsmen, whilst at the same time there are many students at grammar schools who are quite poor at these subjects. Grammar school students do tend on average to be better at mathematics and science than their secondary school counterparts. Time will tell whether there are significant differences with computer science.
