Standardising by age only?

Post by jigya »

Hello

I know we are not meant to discuss the contents of the paper here. But I have a general question on what happens if the paper is easier than what one might expect of an 11+ standard. Would this mean:

a. All children get higher marks and the required/rank mark for entrance increases?
b. The marks are standardised, so that a fixed percentage getting above the 111 pass mark (for Langley Grammar) remains unchanged?

B is correct but it would mean higher raw marks for a particular standardised score.
