Thanks that's helpful, Salsa. They are fairly high scores so hopefully we can get some feel for other scores too... Thanks

My son will be sitting the test September 2018 and keeps asking what percentage he needs to get right, so knowing roughly what this years scores were will help with that. At least I can say this is what it was last year, but next year might be different.

He is a Summer born so will get a few points added on I believe?

Points do not get ‘added’ or ‘deducted’ for age.

Children of the same age are compared to each other. If there is a difference between thise born in, say september, compared to those born in, say July, then the scores are adjusted to account for it.

If there is no difference, there is no adjustment.

Presumably it's one-way only though - if the cohort of say 500 July-born children happened to outperform the 500 September-borns, the latter wouldn't have their scores boosted? What if a bright cohort of August-borns does better than the July cohort; would the July lot have their scores increased by more regardless?

I suppose the numbers involved means chance variations are usually ironed out.

In theory, in the unlikley event of the August borns doing better than the September borns then actually yes the September borns would be adjusted to make up for it. It would work both ways.
