Would also love to hear from other people about what they think the SD mock test pass mark is likely to be - my son got 67% in paper one and 59% in paper two and difficult to tell how this compares to the real thing.
We can all guess what it might be (my guess is 54%) but that won't help you at all. There is no such thing as a "mock test pass mark" because there is no equivalence between the mock test cohort and that of the real thing. Your son's 67% on paper one might not be enough for a qualifying score in the real thing and his paper two score might place him as one of the top standardised scorers in the real thing. It all depends upon the paper and the cohort's performance on it.
As I understand it, the only information you receive for the mock, aside from the score, is a ranking so you can see how your child performed relative to others but again, that's not a great deal of help because you are looking at a self-selected cohort of coached children, not the all-in cohort of Bucks children.
