A tool designed to estimate the results of the Independent School Entrance Exam provides families with a preliminary assessment of their child’s performance. This estimation is based on raw score input, typically the number of correctly answered questions in each section, and converts it into a scaled score, which is the score used by schools for admission decisions. An example would be inputting 50 correct answers in the verbal reasoning section and receiving an estimated scaled score of 800.
Such predictive tools offer valuable insights for families preparing for private school admissions. By offering a preview of potential outcomes, families can gauge their child’s standing and make informed decisions about their application strategy. This can include adjusting test preparation efforts, focusing on specific areas of weakness, or reassessing school choices. Historically, families relied on practice test scoring guides, but digital tools provide a more convenient and often more precise estimation, reflecting updates to the exam and scoring scales.
