- it will be also interesting to know how many family move to Bucks before and after exam results.
- One more factor is more selection review this year and more positive outcome because of that.

Selection review looks similar to previous years. There is no way to know how many families moved! It's just a black box at the moment with too many variables.

Neo1232 - you have no idea where the additional succesful reviews are living or whether they are in Bucks or beyond. Making any hypothesis on this is absolutely pointless.

Why do you think anything can be predicted from this information? Some of us have been around this a long time and know it tells you nothing of value.

I do not agree with you

1) it is just hypothesis
2) In bucks test everything is proportion
more then 50% Co-hort is from Bucks, from Outside lots of child consider it is Mock test
3) more failure rates in Bucks Co-hort and they have more "at stake", so I can understand more challenge from them
4) Bucks primary school has inherent mechanism for selection review - more information to Parents , Head Teacher recommendation

What does this mean? The Transfer Test is 'opt out' so virtually all Bucks children sit it. Btw, disagreeing with me does not make you right.
