Hello,
I can’t find an obvious answer, so hoping you can help.
The various schools give a score each year that had to be reached to enter. E.g Clement Danes for past few years has had around 215 to 220.
What is that score out of?
If the verbal reasoning test has ~80 questions and the maths paper has ~50 questions, what would a child need to score on each paper to get 220?
Thanks a mill - I can’t figure out this mystery.

They are standardised scores, not 'out of' anything. They tell you about the candidate's position within the cohort - normally, approximately 16% will have a score above 230 on a 2 paper test, but the closer to the 200 mark (representing the mean raw score) their score is, the more there are on or around that score, because the distribution of scores will follow a 'bell curve' shape.
