Pecentage at each score
Moderators: Section Moderators, Forum Moderators
As Patricia mentions, there will be some statistics provided with the appeal papers. In addition there is usually a graph showing the number of pupils achieving each score. It does not follow a normal distribution curve. There's a huge amount of bunching around 141, and the average is 110 rather than 100.
Someone with an early appeal has shown me a copy of the results graph for 2005, so I now have an answer to Dobby's question. It's not easy to read off the figures precisely, but around 250-252 children scored 141 (by far the highest total).
In descending order the next highest totals (each with around 180-200 children) appear to have been for the following standardised scores:
2nd highest total: score of 113
3rd highest total: score of 105
4th highest total: score of 107
5th highest total: score of 116
The percentage of children scoring 121+ is 30.14%.
