Hi again,
just started on the tutors practice paper1 ,son scored 70 out of 80 questions.How do you work out the percentage to give a standerdized score? In relation to the pass mark of 121 ,bearing in mind these questions were 80 not a 100.AM getting a bit confused!
any help appreciated

Dear Romana
Standardisation, so many factors involved, amount of children taking the test, age of your child, border zones, comfort zones etc etc. The % that equates to 121 changes every year depending on the cohort taking the test.
To add to the confusion/complexity, Bucks do not use an average of 100, they use 112 as the average.
Your child needs to be scoring in the region of 86%, I prefer my children to score 90%plus.
Your son has scored well on his first test, was it completed in the 50 minute time limit?
