Is is creative writing only on Saturday or is there any other element to it please? Thanks

So if you get through to the 2nd stage you have a pretty high chance of a place?

With all of the schools passing such huge number of kids it's unfair not to share the marks obtained by the child and the cut off marks.

No boys. My big is sitting on Saturday and k asked Wilson’s and they told me there around 1200 - us that different to other years?

Probably normal for boys, think they are less girls historically.

I was told there about 1200 boys sitting stage 2 on Saturday.

Do you mean girls by any chance? as boys are sitting this coming Saturday.
1200 sounds like a lot...

I heard that this year they will not provide the final standardized scores for the girls after stage 2 and will be similar to how it’s for boys. Is that true?

My son did not pass stage 1 last year (passed for Greenshaw but not the grammar schools), and the outcome email only stated the pass marks for Greenshaw and then for the grammars, but did not say how many children had sat the test.
My daughter passed stage 1 this year and the outcome email said she had qualified to be considered for Greenshaw and then that she would be invited to the second stage of testing. No pass marks or numbers of children sitting.

Seems a bit silly really as clearly people who did not pass will share the pass marks with fellow parents, so there seems no reason not to include them for everyone. It seems like the amount of information they are giving out is getting less!

That’s frustrating as I suppose you can’t guarantee a place?

It was never guaranteed anyway, as you had to make predictions as to where the cut off marks would be based on previous years. Also, it depends where you live, as residents of Sutton Borough have a number of ringfenced places. Also PP I believe. We were OOC (out of catchment) anyway, so would have had to be in the top 85 places.

Just found the email. It was a total standardised score. We were also given the highest and lowest standardised score, so could see where she sat in the cohort who took the exams.

Not sure if the results are still given out like that though?

No, they are not given now.

The children who did not pass SET were sent ab email with their score and the cur off score. So the boys cut off score was 212 and for the girls schools it was 205.
Those who passed were not told the score. Similarly, after the 2nd stage test those who will nor pass will get their score and the cut off mark. Those who pass will just be informed that your child has come up to the criteria of so and so school . So the parents will then be able to write the name of that school on CAF. But it will still be a blindfold game as many more students pass pasd as compared to the seats available.
Hope this makes sense.

My dd1 sat this test about 5 years ago I think it was and passed both Stage 1 and Stage 2. We were given her score after Stage 2 in order to have some idea whether she would be offered a place on NOD in March.

May I ask a silly question, how can I know the passing mark of this year? Also is that I can know the mark of my son?

Oops didn't read it properly - sorry!

New2thisshizzle · 27/09/2024 17:51

I think the poster said son so not sure how that would impact a girls place? And wouldn’t the papers be different but still based around writing a story?
