Hi,
I understand that the test is weighted 50% English/VR, 25% maths & 25 NVR. My DS got in to Marling last year mostly on the strength of his English (I suspect). Having said that, the process is not at all transparent, & in reality schools can weight the results as they wish - we're all just going on past info & experience & guesswork.
It's also worth saying that although most of the Glos schools use the overall score only (supposedly), Pates does its own thing and has a separate pass mark for each of the three main areas of the test. To pass with them, candidates have to meet each of these 3 pass marks, then also be in the top 225-230 of overall scores.
Hope this helps.
