Could you pass the 11-plus?

For the non-UK CPians, the 11-plus was a test used to grade 11 year olds, to determine which secondary school they went to from ages 12 to 16. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7773974.stm[^].
Indeed I did; many, many, many years ago. Do not recall anything about it other than that I passed well enough to get in to a grammar school.

I guess I could if it meant something to me. When I was in high-school we had required standardized tests that had no bearing on grades or university placement twice a year for four years. These exams lasted two days each time. Being a proud contrarian, I showed up and answered "C" to all of the questions. When it was time for the university entrance and placement exams, I worked my tail off to make sure I did well.

Right, if it's merely an exam to see how the school is doing and whether or not they need more funding, it's best to do poorly.

12/15 Didn't get the codes one, or #11. Edit: I misread the codes part, thought the question meant that the letters were out of order, not that the codes were out of order with the words.

15/15 with a margin of three seconds, so I would be accepted to a school for eleven year olds. Is this good or bad at the age of forty?

14, by guessing on most. I dislike that kind of test.
