Back in the day I got 98/100 on the school practice test.

There was no secret. It was only ever just practice, practice, practice.

That Beatty psychologist fella tells a good story from his growing up in Belfast. He was the first from his school ever to pass - arriving on the day with sharpened pencils, eraser and a ruler. One of his peer group had no idea what it was and turned up wearing clean underpants.

I got 12, but more so because i ran out of time. My colleague got a full 15. Git!!

13/15, rushed one of the letter/number questions, and then ran out of time for the last question.

Could do better.

Ditto. Had about seven minutes to spare, so perhaps should not have guessed and tried to work it out.

15/15 the last one had me puzzled for a bit, but it just came to me after looking at it for a while!!

13 for me got the two numerical codes wrong but I dont remember the 11+ being anything like that when I passed it.
