Results from Mock

Here is a summary of Mr Barber's results from last Sunday’s mock. English accounts for half of the overall mark, Maths and NVR about a quarter each. The marks are adjusted for age. Remember it’s a one-off mark and should be viewed in the broad picture of how he has done all year. Target pass marks are 60-65% if aiming for a Marling/SHS score.

Overall : 61% -  Borderline pass. 

English:  64% -  Inconsistent. Comprehension very good. Cloze types less good.

Maths:   54% -  A little weak generally.

NVR:      60% -  ok in most but weaker in 'series' types questions

His technique was quite good. Timing pretty quick, checking still not using all time available. Manner lively but concentration seemed fine. I would focus holiday work on the maths.

The bars to the right are the average marks for the group of 11 pupils. Marks are weighted to be a pass at about 60%.
