Hi, I received the results of my daughters test at Newstead. It is 227. Does she stand a chance of getting in? Anyone had similar marks and got in?

My dd1 was at NW y7-11 and dd2 hoping to go in September.
dd1 got 224 when cut off was 218-220, and got an offer in March.

As you say, the email says 213-221, so hopefully your DD should be fine. Even if not first round, there is always some movement in the first couple weeks as people take up independent school offers and then relinquish other places.

Best of luck for March!

Thank you.

Look at the eleven plus exams forum, there should be lots of historic info if you go into the Bromley talk bit.

I think the pass mark is 210 but you need a higher score to actually secure a place as it is so heavily over subscribed. I think historically you need to get around the 220 mark but last year on offer day it was around 224 I think. I think 227 sounds pretty safe, so I'd definitely put it down as a first choice (if it is your first choice). Even if the pass mark rises this year, I think you should still be in with a very good chance, if not right at the top of the waiting list!

A few years ago it was 210ish. I don't know what it is now but I would imagine she'd be ok bur depends on the cohort.

It's 210 still. Email says that historically it has ranged from 213 to 221.

I mean is there data sheets where you can see how many girls scores what?
