Do you think the ISEB results truely reflect your DC's actual ability? Just that really.
We have been fortunate to receive exam feedback from a couple of Schools with quartile cohort results and eventually our actual scores from a sympatheic and understanding school. As a consequence we have been shocked by the inconsistency of ISEB results versus our DC's known competency on a particular subject, notably English and Maths.
Our view is based on known performance on a number of verifiable asessments - a non ISEB exam eg Grammar, mocks, school exams, CAT4 outcomes, etc or teacher expectations of performance.
We have tried endlessly to rationalise the outcomes, perhaps DC had a bad day, greater competition, however, in discussion with a few at school others facing similar outcomes, we have come to ponder, was there a glitch or ISEB malfunction with the exam format questions/answers or set up issues within the inviligation centres?
Hence, curious to see if thus is an isolated school issue or one felt amongst other parents feeling disillusioned with 11+ choices we are forced to accept..
