percentage needed
can anyone tell me what percentage a child aged 10years 4months would need to get to get the pass mark?
Dear Mary
The % score, no one really knows, it varies every year according to the cohort taking the test due to standardisation, long and complicated.
In addition, during the standardisation process, Bucks do not use an average of 100 but something like 110/112 [ think this may vary too]
As a very rough estimate, you are looking at 86%, I prefer my students to achieve 90%.

Dear Guest
Both tests are standardised, the lower score is disregarded, the higher score is used to ascertain whether your child is offered a grammar school place.
So, your child could score 110 in test 1 amd 121 in test 2 will achieve the minimum 121 and pass
The old system of taking the average would not have passed this child.
You would think that this would make it easier to pass, but NFER say otherwise
