are scores standerdised by age for CSSE exams

Post by ayesha11 »

Hi

Just wondered if any of you lovely parents could help me with the following question are the test scores standerdised by age for the CSSE exams ? my son is one of the oldest in his class would he need to get a higher mark to get the same score as someone else due to his age?.


Have a great weekend

Best,
Ayesha

The CSSE test is not age standardised.

Have a look on page 9 of my 'Collated Cut-offs' thread for more info on standardisation.

Basically all papers are marked and the average mark for all the papers is calculated. This average mark gets a standardardised score 100 (or 150 in the case of Essex). So a child getting the average mark on both papers would score 300.
