How is the Medway 11 plus exam marked?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
