Upload by Rhys

2025 KS2 National Curriculum Tests thresholds present the marks needed to reach Expected Standard (scaled score 100+) and Greater Depth/Higher Standard (scaled score 110+) for Mathematics, Reading, and GPS. It also lists total marks available for each subject and provides equivalent percentage thresholds. An additional table maps raw scores to scaled scores, including notes that 0-2 raw marks may show no scaled score, and highlights that the scaled-score table is followed by a breakdown section.

FAQs

What are the KS2 marks needed for the Expected Standard (scaled score 100+)?

For 2025, the Expected Standard requires 58 marks in Mathematics, 28 in Reading, and 35 in GPS, based on the scaled-score threshold of 100+.

What marks are required for Greater Depth/Higher Standard (scaled score 110+)?

Greater Depth/Higher Standard requires 95 marks in Mathematics, 40 in Reading, and 54 in GPS, using the scaled-score threshold of 110+.

How do raw scores convert to scaled scores in this document?

The document includes a raw-score-to-scaled-score mapping table for Reading, Maths, and GP&S. It specifies that some low raw-score ranges (e.g., 0-2) can result in no scaled score, and then lists the corresponding scaled score values for higher raw scores.
