Please can someone shed some light on extra points which are given depending on when the child is born. My DS is April born so could someone please give an estimate on what scores are required ?
Many Thanks

No marks are added on or taken away - your child's raw score is compared to that of the children who are born in the same month.

It will depend on the cohort taking the test so no-one can answer your question accurately. Historically, younger children will qualify if they get two or three more incorrect than a September born.

See the sticky on the FOI requests about raw scores - but remember each cohort will be different!

Don't think so... understanding it is part of the 11 plus test for parents :wink:
