A lot of people will look - although they live in other regions - in case they can help, or indeed learn anything new about the whole process themselves.
I posted something on the Warks thread well over a week ago and still have had no replies. Hang in there...if someone can help, then they will!

Sorry for the late reply, Dan's mum. It is difficult to specify a score which will give you a pass because each year's cohort is compared with each other and so there can be variations year to year, papers may vary in difficulty and scores are standardised making it hard to assess raw scores. I have been told that roughly 75% will get a pass but I cannot say whether this is accurate or not!!

As King's offers places on score order much also depends on the other children in you area taking the exam this year. Two years ago all who passed could be offered places and some who narrowly failed got in on appeal; last year some children who passed were turned down because they were oversubscribed.
