Fingers crossed it won’t be so tricky this year!
I’m not sure exactly how accurate it is but I found this website for predicting standardised scores:

Good luck for Sat, I’m glad it’s nearly over!
Thanks so much JP2010 for that website link, a very interesting predictor there and it gives me a clearer indication of how we would have fared last year (although I totally understand that each year will differ from one year to the next). As this is our very first year in the 11+ arena (younger sibling will also have the pleasure in a few years time!) I had absolutely no idea what kind of marks we needed to aim for apart from the obvious "Do the best that you can..." which is still far too open-ended because there will always be room for improvement, and obviously everyone else's children will also be doing the best that they can too.
In less than a week's time JP2010 we will be able to breath a huge sigh of relief, although us parents will still have to endure the wait for the results but at least our DC can finally draw a line under this exam by Saturday afternoon and get some well deserved rest and playtime! Looking forward to seeing you on the other side JP2010!
