ATs tests are externally marked, with results being returned to schools in July. The results will be shared with parents before the end of the summer term. Although each test has a different number of questions and marks available, all of the test results have been converted to a common scale. It is this scaled score that will be reported to you.

Higher scores indicate higher achievement, while scores below 100 indicate that children have not yet met the expected standard for their age.
