Hi,my daughter scored-202 in grammar test -2017(Birmingham).This is shockingly low for her general performance & we are all feeling a bit low at the moment ,but trying to cheer her up. Can anyone kindly advice me if there is any point in hoping for a place in any of the Birmingham/Sutton grammar schools.
thank you

Take a look at the 2017 scores thread on here for a overall view but even them there is no consensus, some think the cut off will go down and some think up, but either way it's unlikely to be more than a couple of points. Looking at past scores it would appear that 202 would be unlikely to get into any of the schools but there is a lot of information on here regarding people getting into schools via waiting lists so it would be worth you trawling through them for a better idea.
Good luck.

There is a tutor in Birmingham who is claiming that one of his students has scored 279. Is that even possible? I ask the question because I believe he is being dishonest in order to attract more students. Many of my friends are considering using him as a tutor for their children based on this information alone. Is there no accountability for tutors or can they state anything they want? Does false advertising not apply to them?

Question: What is the total mark possible for each paper leading up to a maximum possible composite score? (kevin8)

The maximum standardised score is most NFER type 11-plus exams is normally 140 or 141, so the theoretical maximum score in these exams is therefore 420. However you will see later that a very small number of children can score higher in the KE & B/Ham Univ of Durham 11-plus exams due to the difficulty of the exams. However the normal NFER distribution will still apply and anyone scoring above 139 on each section will be within the top 1% of candidates and the average score about 100. These high standardised marks do not necessarily relate to top raw scores.
