How to convert key stage 2 raw scores to scaled scores

The tables show each of the possible raw scores on the 2017 key stage 2 tests. To convert each
pupils raw score to a scaled score, look up the raw score and read across to the appropriate scaled
score. A scaled score of 100 or more shows the pupil has met the expected standard in the test.

Pupils need to have a raw score of 3 marks to be awarded the minimum scaled score. If a
pupil has a raw score of 0 to 2 marks, the scaled score field for the pupil in the Pupil results
section of NCA tools will be N. The outcome of the test for the pupil will be NS, expected
standard not achieved.
