I hope this isn't too late to allay some of your feelings, but this figure of 85% is a bit misleading. The following text appeared on the results letter sent out by Bexley Council and I would think that a similar situation exists in the Kent area as well, albeit over 3 tests rather than 4.Ramsgatemum wrote:Hi,

In Bexley, the pass mark is 430 across all the papers (it doesn't matter so much if you have a bad day with one). However, it would seem likely that a child born on September 1st who got every question wrong in one paper would still score 70.Bexley Council wrote:To put the test scores in context for each of the four tests the minimum score is 70, the maximum is 140 and an average of 100. Therefore for the 4 tests in total the minimum score is 280, the maximum is 560 and the average is 400.
Where did you get the 85%, is it a raw score or you taking 85% of the standardised score which is 140?Ramsgatemum wrote:Hi,
