Hi folks,
I am asking on behalf of a friend. Her son sat the CSSE mock test at Southend school. Scored 78% in English and 70% in maths (which looks like good raw scores to me), but was ranked 51/200 students. She wants to know if there is any chances of her getting in. She is OOC for all Essex schools. She is heartbroken and really stressed out.
Any idea what she should be aiming for in mock test in raw % to secure a OOC place (she doesn't mind any of the essex GS).
Many thanks.
Out of curiosity, which Southend school was this? As far I am aware, the CSSE doesn't run any mock exams. Whoever ran the mock, why is coming 51st out of 200 a disaster?
If you want to see what raw marks in the real exams have equated to various standardised scores and obtained places at the various CSSE schools over the past few years, have a look at the statistics in
