percentile ranks

Post by peter 1 »

Does anyone know how to find out, other than through the school, a child's percentile rank. I have all the standardised scores from the past three years. The headteacher's report just concentrates on levels for maths, science and literacy. Will this be enough? Thank you

If you mean in optional NC tests these are on the QCA website - I can post the link if that is what you mean.

No problem:

Y5 optional tests will be the 2006 figures [you will need to scroll down]:

Y4 will be 2005 etc.

Any questions - get back to me.

I found this website easy to use. Just look up your child's standardised score on the SS bit and it will tell you what percentile they are at.

Hope it helps..

This table only works for a test with an average of 100 and standard deviation 15 - not all tests are standardised like this.

Dear Guest55

I can't find the percentile information - levels and standardised scores, yes, but not percentiles. Is it there, or am I just looking in the wrong place?

Thanks

On the link above it says what % got each level - in the tables you go to from the index on the left.

e.g. a level 5c in Maths says 4% and 5b says 1% - so a 5c is in the top 5% - this is the sort of data I used ...

I can't cpy it on because the table format is not preserved.
