Test September 17 Feedback

Post by Ear131 »

What feedback did you get from your child? Mine said it was hard. Not a good sign. I just wondered how the others felt about it.

You can't tell at all from What they say!
It's a cohort exam: 30% will "pass" the exam, the other 70% will be "not elegible".
So if it was hard, every child will get a lower raw score and the passing raw score will be less. There will still be 30% of entering children with a standardised score of 111 or over.

So try not to worry, if your DC found it difficult, so will have all the others. cEM is notorious for having many questions in not-enough-time.
