Exam Mark

[Pkaur]

Hi All,

Quick question regarding the Wolverhampton, Walsall and Wrekin CEM exam. How is the students mark calculated? I know there are 2 papers: Paper 1 English/VR and paper 2 Maths/NVR.... but does each paper mark get added together to give you a overall mark that is standardised due to month student is born.

Sorry i couldn't find a thread that covered this.

thanks in advance

Yes: Looks like it

The Test will consist of 2 papers, testing 3 skill areas: verbal ability including reading comprehension, non-verbal
ability, and numerical ability. Candidates will be required to provide their answers on a special answer sheet
which is marked at least twice externally. It is not possible for the School to re-mark the answers.
The raw scores will be weighted to take age difference into account, and an order of merit drawn up.

Thanks for that. So does each of the 3 areas have equal weight on the end mark or just the aggregate mark for the whole paper?
