Waiting list score or irrelevant due to standardisation

My son scored 333.9. In previous years this MAY have been enough to secure a place at CRGS via waiting list. Am I clutching at straws now considering the 2018 standardisation?
Many thanks for any advice, he's back from his residential today and I initially thought I could tell him there would be a possibility via waiting list but after reading the forums I'm not so sure.
Thanks

Ok I've followed the formula given here and his score would have been 333.002.
So I guess he still might have a long shot at CRGS or o/c WHSB.

Hello hedgehogmum
Would you be able to work out my sons score?
Tried to work out using it the formula but Maths not my strong point
E 48
M 47
July born
SS 376.82
We are out of catchment for all schools, my son really like Kegs but I’m not feeling very optimistic

Think there's some confusion here.
The score sent to you is surely already age standardised ?
Am I missing something?

I haven't read it all in depth but looks like something might have changed :

Trying to work out what it would have been without standardisation.

Without age adjustment it’s just the ‘old’ calculation-
((((Raw score - mean)/SD) x 15)+100) x 1.5
Do the calculation for English and Maths then add them together.
