Comparability
Age-standardised scores provide a measure of relative performance only. A score above 115 indicates test results that are higher than those for most children of the same age. A score between 85 and 115 indicates test results that are in line with most children of the same age. A score below 85 indicates test results that are lower than those for most children of the same age.
The results for each year group and test are independently standardised every year. Therefore the data in this release cannot be used to compare the relative performance of pupils between the different tests.
Please note that because data are independently standardised each year, the results cannot be compared over time.
