hi, 112 is an excellent score! congrats to your daughter, mine got 106 and we were told by our principal that she would have no bother getting into BRA with that score so your daughter's score means she also will have no bother

The Quintiles are the percentage of children achieving the scores!, i.e. the top 20% of results in the 1st quintile, the next 20% in the 2nd so the above example should have 4 children in each quintile. However, what I find amazing is that the AQE notice before the tests suggested that they anticipated the 1st 20% of children achieving a score of 113+ and that didnt change when the results arrived (even though the top result was apparently only 128). Also I doubt they have factored into their equation that there will be quite a number of children who sat both tests and with the majority of GL scores being higher those children will use that route, throwing their quintiles out completely!

In the example above if we take the top 20% of kids (top 4 results) and put them in the top quintile. Then the next 4 for the second quintile, which of the kids that scored 60 will get into the 2nd quintile? toss a coin?

thanks! i havent contacted any of the schools. my daughters principle at her primary school was very reassuring and he told me that she should get her first choice. top mark in her school was 120. so heres hoping. think from 100 up should be fine.
