DD's school will be setting them soon, think after half-term so beginning of November. There will be 3 abillity sets, plus a fourth for children who need a lot of support/SEN/ EAL etc. Where do people think a result of 4c would put her? Thankyou.

I reckon Set 3 out of 4 which is where my son got placed on a Level 4 but at the beginning of Yr 8 he got put up to Set 2. My friend's son stayed in Set 2 throughout the years and was one of 2 in Set 2 that got an A after a predicted E from his CATS tests. Not everyone in Set 1 got an A and he worked very hard.

Mrsshears just looked at your thread, a grade c would be better than fine for me!

I won't comment on the second question Grin

As meditrina says it really depends on the other childrens levels, in our school probably 4th set but in the school down the road most likely a higher set.
I have just found out dd1 is taking the foundation maths paper for GCSE so i understand your concern.

My year 7 dd left primary on 4a/b borderline and is at the high end of the 3rd set of 4 (but I think there's an additional group for kids with SEN etc). Large comp with a varied intake in terms of background.

The result of a test taken this week. Left primary on 4, think borderline c/b.

Your user name always makes me laugh, you are SO interested. But seriously, Id have thought shed be top of 3rd set, or bottom of second, depending on the cohort.

It's so dependent on the levels of the other children. And was that her leaving primary level, or the level her new school have assessed?
