Re: Sutton PTA Mock Exam Test A Results Available
Completely agree with Wingman that I wouldn't be either put off or over confident based on these mock results.
Also to add the younger children don't actually get extra marks. What happens is all children born in the same month are standardised together. There are no marks added or taken away.

Thanks for clarifying Moon Unit. Here is a link to explain age standardization just in case I confused things.

My layman's summary of this is that there is some benefit to younger children in the actual 11+ that is not reflected in the mock results. It's all too complex for me!

It took me a while to get my head round it too!
Think I'm right in saying there is no age standardisation for GCSE or A level which I think makes sense as differences are less significant as they get older.
