From previous years, I don't believe you get a score or ranking after the first round, but locals will confirm.
Correct. If you pass, you’re told as much. If you don’t, I believe you get your score.
I can only speak for Wallington & Nonsuch, but 3 years ago if you did not pass the second stage, you got your score. It was the first year (I believe) that student had to pass both English & Maths to pass the test, not an aggregate score.
Cut offs were 83 for English & Maths. My daughter scored 102(!) and 82. I can’t stress enough how important the appeals process is. A week later after remarking, she was told there’d been a mistake and her raw score moved a point higher in maths and her standardised score moved to 83.
She is in Year 9 at WHSG now and absolutely loving it (top set in maths...) so my message would be “do NOT be disheartened) if it’s a close call, mistakes do get made in stage 2!
As for today’s SET at Wallington, my daughter said the maths was tricky and the English easier, which surprised me, knowing where her strengths lie.
Let’s hope we get results by Monday at the latest.
