Different sitting dates in Bucks

Given that the standardisation exercise may be key for a pass / fail, does anyone know if the date on which the exam is taken is referenced in the standardisation exercise. For example, children in bucks completed the exam this year on 10 October, whilst others out of county won't be sitting until much later ( the latest date I have heard is 16 November) . This does not seem particularly fair to me

So in summary my question is - is it birth date used in standardisation, or is it age when sitting the test?

Thanks in advance

They use the child's age when the test is actually taken.
