Raw Scores - Is it too late
On reading another post it says that 70/80 is 87% and a score of 120 was achieved by a Setember born child. My DD consistently scored 70/71 out of 80 on the familiarisation papers, is a May born and missed by 3 marks. I now feel that I would like to get her raw scores for my piece of mind as she said the second paper was much easier than the first and she only guessed 3 but got same mark for each paper, is it too late as cut off date would have been today, and would it look bad at my appeal.
Many thanks.

Hi 6468j
As the cut-off date is today, you may find that you are too late. Call the Appeals team on Monday to ask them if they are willing to make an exception.
It would not look bad at your appeal that you have asked for this information.
Discussion of raw scores is generally something of a red herring at an appeal though. You should also be aware that the rest tests tend to be harder than the familiarisation papers.

I never realised age made such a difference to marks. From what people have said,in this year's test, a September birthday would have needed to score 71/80 to obtain a make of 121 whereas a May birthday would need approximately 66/67 out of 80 to score 121. I always understood extra points were given to younger but surprised at what a difference age makes.
I have children at either end of the academic year and now think the test would favour my younger child who although more immature has been at school for the same amount of time etc.
