What is the Medway 11 plus mark mark?

There are full details on the Medway 11 plus pass mark here. Key on your Medway 11 plus results day !

How is the Medway 11 plus exam marked?

  1. Firstly each Medway 11 plus paper is marked. This gives raw 11 plus scores. The raw scores for each 11 plus paper are based on the number of correct 11 plus answers.
  2. These raw 11 plus scores are then standardised. This is done to reflect each 11 plus applicant’s age at the time they sit their 11 plus test. Thereby ensuring that no 11 plus pupil is disadvantaged.
  3. Now since there are typically several, separate 11 plus papers, an 11 plus weighting is applied. Each 11 plus paper’s score is weighted. This creates a total 11 plus weighted score.
English test standardised scorex 2

Mathematics test standardised scorex 2

Reasoning test standardised scorex 1

Total weighted score

 

4. Every year a minimum total weighted 11 plus score is set. This determines the grammar 11 plus pass mark. This 11 plus score is set at 26% (subject to Approval for three grammar schools to change to mixed gender for September 2025 entry) of the children in the year group in Medway state primary and junior schools.

5. The minimum 11 plus score is only known once this year’s 11 plus scores have been calculated.
