Max score in Warwickshire?
Does anybody know the max score in Warks , as it will be much easier to calculate required %, rather than mythical "numbers"?
thanks!
thanks!

The warks scores are the sum of age standardised score so you percentages don't apply.Does anybody know the max score in Warks , as it will be much easier to calculate required %, rather than mythical "numbers"?

As this exam is age standardied in a similar way to B/Ham until 2 years ago, the max score is likely to be similar.
For KEFW a few years ago the max score was 443 - tends to be about the same year on year - but a bit meaningless

Yes, I know about age standardised score, but it is still much easier to calculate if you know the max number. At least it helps to know if a child needs to get 70% or 90% on the exam day.KenR wrote:The warks scores are the sum of age standardised score so you percentages don't apply.Does anybody know the max score in Warks , as it will be much easier to calculate required %, rather than mythical "numbers"?

I was told 483 for the last year, you say 443 which is roughly the same.
That means, if a qualifying score is 333 and max 443, a child needs 75% to get in, right?

No. One each of the three elements a score of 100 will represent the mean (average) score of the cohort who took the test.naknat wrote:That means, if a qualifying score is 333 and max 443, a child needs 75% to get in, right?
In the 2012 exam the average raw scores were
Verbal Reasoning (which isn't traditional CR - it's more English) = 56/111
Numerical Reasoning = 10/42
Non Verbal Reasoning = 18/32
i.e. for numerical reasoning the average score was only 23%
Those aren't unusual either - the other year I have raw scores for was 2010 (when the exam was 2 months later)
Verbal Reasoning = 44/98
Numerical Reasoning = 18/51
Non Verbal Reasoning = 21/41
Those average marks would have got a child from the middle of the age range a standardised score of 100 on each section - 300 overall. Offers this year for Rugby High were made to candidates scoring 300.
As a rule of thumb around 60%-65% would get probably a place at most of the Warwickshire grammars - but as you have no way of knowing how the difficulty of what you are practicing compares to that of the real test, saying you are scoring x% on practice material really doesn't mean anything - except possibly that if you are scoring much higher than this then your practice material may be too easy.
