Hi,
My DS has just got his 11+ results & we've been told he met the qualifying standard & was in the first 150 for Marling (hurray!). However, his Pate's result (the only other school we shared with) was way down - in the 700s - & we have since found out that he was given a higher ranking for Marling compared to another child we know, but his ranking for Pate's was much lower than that of the same child - I wondered how this was possible?
I understand that Pate's require candidates to pass all three sections of the test (separately) to their qualifying standard (anyone know what that standard is?) while the other schools work on the basis of the overall score only. Considering what our DS said to us about the test, it sounds as if he might have messed up one section, while he felt he did well on the others. Does this tally with anyone else? And does anyone have any inside info on how Pate's rank? I've had a couple of worry moments that we may have somehow got the wrong result(!) & he hasn't got into Marling at all - it doesn't seem likely, it all looks fine & clear, but since we only shared with two schools & their rankings were so very different, it's difficult to tell what's gone on...
Any info very welcome. Thank you.
