Low results

[fatbananas]

I'm not sure dpla is right- I heard a rumour that although the top score will still be 423, the pass mark will be an aggregate of 320, much lower than last year, and would be v hard to tell where the superselecive cut off will be until we know how many children sit in each mark.

Interesting. Can you say where that came from

From this forum I understiod there three marks. English. Maths. Reasonng.

The aggregate of 320 would be from the 3 marks for english, maths and reasoning.

But if the aggregate is 320 then the 106 for each paper can't be right?

Im confused?

Assuming the rumour is correct, 106 would be a minimum for one paper, with a total of 320 or more - at least last year you had to get a total of 360 but could go down to (I think ) 118 in any one paper, as long as the total remained over 360.

Essex2Kent, I saw it on another forum - one specialising in Kent, West Kent in particular, but I dont think we are meant to link from here?

Essex.
I've read that some Grammar HT's have announced this information at open evenings.

I personally have also heard the same thing from a couple of separate sources, other than on here. I can't say where but they are reliable sources.

Many thanks. Gosh 100 marks between top and bottom. Where will the schools cut off??
