The answer is in my first post on this thread, but the score is not relevant provided it is 121 or above.

thanks for clarifying. However, can I find (did check on school website) somewhere the historical data (scores/distance) which can tell me what are our chances.
It's my second time with 11+ but earlier it was just VR and much simpler to comprehend, or may be I need to learn more ;-)

See second post with historic allocation distances; as has been said several times, once you reach 121 the score is totally irrelevant.

This is a direct link to the document showing past allocation profiles:

As Guest55 says, provided your child has achieved a score of 121 or more they are deemed qualified.

It is then down to the distance from the school (and any other admission rules that might apply for an individual school) as to whether they will be allocated a place.

I think it's 180 but it doesn't matter AT ALL.
121 or above is what matters.
Getting 180 does not mean priority in admissions nor that the DC will do very well in Grammar.

Similarly, getting less than 121 just means that they will have lesser schools to choose from. How they fare in Secondary school is dependent on many other factors than the 11+ score.

So the equation 121 = (122 to 180) holds true for Bucks 11+ :D

Thanks for this information. Some parents (including myself) just wanted to know the max score, but we know only that 121 counts.

As stated above, the maximum score is in my first post on this thread.

However, I will post it once more: in 2013 the scores ranged from 5 to 199.
