Does anyone know the passmark for a super selective school on the maths paper please, the sort of score range that the children with offers would be achieving?

My child sat a test paper today and scored over 90% and given we are just at the beginning of prep, I'm left wondering if its expected to get 98%+, which seems crazy.

Depends if you are in an area with some catchment places and what the test paper was - if it was a Manchester Grammar paper or similar you are fine, if it is a Bond paper then I would be looking for higher.

Thank you it was Bond which I'm.taking to mean these papers aren't that difficult?

We uses a lot of Bond books but my son's tutor recommended the GL Assessment books, which have several papers in each one. They are trickier than the Bond books and closer to the 11+ papers. We bought the full set which I think was only £100 or so for the whole lot - lots of papers.

I meant to say, my son is also hoping to go to a super selective, and he has been told to aim for minimum of 90% on these papers.
