The Results What marks will pupils receive? Raw score: the number of marks for each subject. Scaled score: a comparable score for each subject. National Standard: confirmation of whether pupils’ work reached this level.
What are scaled scores? This score places the child on a scale of achievement where 100 represents the ‘national standard’. The score of 100 is intended to reflect the same standard every year. For example, if a child received a scaled score of 120, they would have achieved above national average.
