How do you score in a test aimed at 10-11 yr olds?

I only scored 60% as well.

When I was ten years old my head was never out of a book. Thankfully, my reading ability wasn't hampered by not being familiar with subordinating conjunctions. hmm

90%, fooled by modern terminology in one case.

Also 60% must try harder as my report would have said.

I got 60% - mainly because the language now used is not what it was in my day!

Children need to be able to express themselves and learning grammar in this detail is only of use to them if they go on to study languages. I did English, French, German and Latin at A-level and went on to a degree and post-grad qualification. And I only got 60% in this test.

It is madness!

I definitely would not pass these tests.
Scary really, considering I managed a good GCE English Language grade back in the day ...?

I had to giggle at the missing apostrophe in the link though.
