There weren’t a lot of sad faces - I expect the score will be high. I can’t quite get my head around the standardisation scale eg an October born with 100% vs July born 100%.
Happy to be corrected but I don't think there's a scale as such.
My understanding is that the marks are compared across children with the same birth month on a curve. So theoretically children born in December could require higher raw marks than those born in September depending on the cohort.
It's comparing your child with others from their birth month and therefore fairer than comparing them with those potentially born 11 months earlier (or later).
So it's not worth stressing about. The idea is to level the playing field not create problems for any particular age child
