Just to add my prediction, I would say the results this year will be similar to the results of last year. From historic data, the cut-off marks normally jump when the number of boys appearing in the test increases. Since the number of students this year is quite similar to last year, my assumption is that the cut off scores this year will match closely with the cut off of last year.

True thats my thought as well. Unless there are more pupils taking up private school seats this year which is what I believe most of the QE candidates also aim for based on my knowledge. I was told many treat QE as a mock for Private schools entrance :D So it depends on the performance in the private schools entrance as well :wink:

ah! sorry thanks for clarifying. :D

True that. It can work both ways. Due to the cost of living rise etc. parents may prefer QE over private. Although with the economy now open this may not be the case. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to all DC's who worked really hard for this exam.

Unless they're aiming for some sort of financial assistance, it could be working the other way round, with parents using private schools as a safety net, in case the boy is borderline for QE. Certainly there has been an element of that in our experience of QE, Habs and MTS parents.

Copied from another post by @Daogroupie - https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum ... &start=160" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
3 weeks to go until we know the last score to be offered a place on 1st March this year.

I am going to predict that it will be 236/237 which would be one or two marks higher than last year when it was 235 but right at the end of 235 as 234 in Potter Bar was 4th on the waiting list and was offered a place just a few weeks later.
