Can some one enlighten me :? how are the scores worked out, I have gone to the link and am still confused Lol! well a bit. Based on two papers 80 + 80 = 160 which is 100 % how much does a child need to pass for a place at Herschel/Langley? :?

It all depends on how the cohort of children taking the exam did as a whole. If children found it easier then the score required will be higher.... if it was a harder exam then the 'score' required will be lower. As the consortium exam has changed format we have not got any past stats to go on.
previously it seemed that children that were achieving 80% or over overall on practice papers achieved a pass
If anyone is willing to post information once they receive the results it would be most appreciated (even if it is done with another login name).
