My dd didnt pass the kent test, we are in the north kent area, We thought she would struggle with the maths but her other subjects are usually strong - anyway she scored 123 vr, 110nvr ? which was a big shock and just 106 maths. she is keen to go as sibling is at the boys school but we just dont know. He passed really highly a few years ago so this is new to us. I am the mum with the fire alarm going off which may or may not have played a part, Be honest with me i wont mind!

well TBH it does seem quite a long shot - i believe becs1 had a successful appeal last year with a low maths but the other 2 were high

I think it may be a long long shot. Note from your previous post the fire alarm went off in VR. You will need very good extenuating circumstances or evidence for both Maths and NVR.

we appealed with a maths score of 109 last year, but she`s got 121 and 120 in the other two.

It is a longshot, and its a long and painful process appealling, only you know whether you think its worth it.

Good luck

My DD did win parental appeal with a score of only 100 in maths but she did pass the NV and V with quite high pass marks. Its a long shot but if you dont try you ll never know???I think it helped my case that she done well on first day (V and NVR) but on the maths exam (second day) some personal medical circumstances effected result. Good luck whatever you decide to do.
