Is there any way of obtaining a breakdown of scores for AGGS and Sale? From the school or otherwise? Anyone ever done this?

It helps for appeals to know focus points.

There's a link on page 21 from percymum that might help. https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum ... 00#p751257" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm not sure.

Phone them and ask them. And ask what they'll give you if you submit a 'subject access request'.

I bet they'll just give you whatever they're allowed to give.

They have no meaning without knowing what they are out of!

I think that is where you are going wrong. A standardised score is an estimate of your position in the test candidates.It does not tell you how many questions you answered correctly. It tells you how you performed when compared with the other candidates.

A score of 100 means that your child got the average score (whatever percentage raw score that was) and ranks in the middle of the cohort of children. A score of 130 would mean you scored higher than 98% of the cohort. Standardised scores are based on a range where the maximum and minimum is artificially capped as they become less accurate on the extremes.

CEM have been known to go to 160+ ( I’ve dredged that from my memory so I’m willing to be corrected.) GL tends to cap at 140 or 141.

thanks, but I was asking about what the raw marks in each of the three sections were out of as I have my marks. not the standardised score, i wouldn't even want to guess interpreting them!
