Could you pass the 11-plus?

Check here - I got 13/15 - I ended up skipping questions 10 and 11 in order to finish inside the ten minute time limit.

I went to a grammar school after the 12+...so presumably I've always been good at this sort of thing.
15/15 in 4:24.
With 7 and 8 I didn't bother trying the whole words...I worked out individual key letters (the Ts on "Mast" and "Lest" correspond to the 5s on the end of two of the codes). Is that cheating?

I was not however anything special academically (8 GCSE Bs and Cs...no As. 18 points worth of A-levels. 2ii degree). Says something about the usefulness of said tests. I rather enjoyed the mental workout though.

It's not cheating, it's how you do it...

What Andy said - it's the only way to do it fast enough. Figuring out the fast way to figure it out is half of what you have to figure out. If you follow..
