Apparently someone at dc's school did but the most likely candidate says it wasn't them.

I'm thinking there's been some tall stories told via kids on xbox tonight !

Completely possible for them to get every question right in all papers and therefore get 120 across the board.
Remember they are standardised scores not raw scores so if I child got 119 SS, they may be up to 3 marks off getting 120.

Ignore the above message, I got myself confused! What I meant was that they may have got 120 across the board but as it’s a standardised score and not a raw score they may not have got every single mark available. For example in the GPS test 50 marks were available and if they got 47 or above they would have got a SS of 120.

There's no such thing as 119. It goes 118 - 120.
You had to get 109 out of 110 marks in maths to get 120. The English 120 scores had a slightly wider range.

Oldbirdy what I wrote was in a muddle, see the next post :)

Yes, we cross posted - apologies.

Definitely possible a child in my dd's class got 3 x 120.

BarbarianMum · 16/07/2018 11:11

Yes it's possible. Unusual but not unheard of.

Yeah, I actually got 3 120s when I did mine in 2017!!
