Hi Anxious Mother

Yes thanks for the sample question paper - the problem being that sample paper don't necessarily tell us if the real exam is the same as this year's or previous year's KE exam or how they are going to be age standardised. We can only glean this when we get feedback from parents who request the detailed information in support of waiting list or appeal review

Hi

yes it was the exam section content.

The problem is that its not totally clear how they do the standardisation - it appears that they do a single simple standardisation across all questions:-
Places in Year 7 of the School from the first day of the Autumn Term 2012 will be awarded on the basis of the results in the three skill areas which
are tested: verbal reasoning (incorporating elements of English), non-verbal reasoning (incorporating elements of Maths) and numeracy. Raw scores
will be standardised to take account of differences in ages. An order of merit will be drawn up, based on the aggregate standardised marks in all
three skill areas.
The trouble is that they are not being transparent - they don't appear to be saying what the standardised score of the last successful candidate is - they just seem to give a rank
