I didn’t like the 11 plus because I got a lot of pressure from my grandparents. They would have made it a point to try and force me to do practice papers a lot. I just was very stressed out about it. I remember on the day of the exam I was sick, I was vomiting that morning. I ended up failing it and ... feeling like a failure ... I ended up having a great time in the secondary school I was in.

When I did the transfer test I was confident that I would get a very good score in the test and I‛m so proud of myself. Andreanna Edgar, Downpatrick Primary School P7

We need to do lots of work especially tests for high school. Eoin Douglas, Our Lady and St Patrick Primary School
