Alex's Assessment Results
Completed 14 September 2026 · 60 questions · 4 subjects
Score of 116 exceeds the SAS 111 threshold for most grammar school areas in England.
SAS 122 in Verbal Reasoning places Alex in the top 8% nationally for age 10.
SAS 84 in Mathematics is in the Needs Support band. Fractions and word problems scored 40% — focused daily practice can close this gap.
Score distribution · Percentile ranking
International context
Working above the expected standard. Likely competitive for grammar school or selective independent school entry.
Above grade level by approximately one year; top 15–20% nationally.
PISA Level 4–5 — strong performer, above the OECD average.
Good candidate for the IB Diploma Programme including Higher Level subjects.

Based on topic-level performanceBuild vocabulary through wide reading
Vocabulary is the weakest topic at 60% — it's dragging the English score below its potential. Comprehension and grammar are solid; this is a targeted gap.
Action plan
- 1Read one non-fiction article daily (BBC Bitesize, The Week Junior) — unfamiliar words in context stick better than lists
- 2Keep a vocabulary notebook: 5 new words per week with definitions and one sentence each
- 3Practice inference-style comprehension questions — not just "find the answer" but "what does the author imply"
Channel this strength into competitive reading and puzzles
SAS 122 is already Exceptional and in the top 8% nationally. The goal here is not remediation but extension — keeping the skill sharp under pressure and stretching toward the very top of the scale.
Action plan
- 1Enter a school or national word puzzle competition (e.g. UK Junior Vocabulary Challenge) — competitive pressure sharpens performance beyond normal practice
- 2Read books one or two years above age level — this forces genuine vocabulary inference rather than comfortable recognition
- 3Try timed verbal reasoning papers with a 10% time reduction to build the speed margin that separates SAS 122 from SAS 126+
Fix figure analogies — one weak spot, big impact
Figure analogies scored 60% while matrices and series scored 70–80%. This single question type is the bottleneck. Targeting it specifically can push Non-Verbal Reasoning into the Exceptional band.
Action plan
- 1Practise figure analogy questions in isolation for 10 minutes daily — not mixed NVR drills
- 2For each question, describe the transformation in words before looking at the options ("it rotated 90° and gained a dot")
- 3Use physical spatial puzzles — Tangrams or pattern blocks — to build intuitive spatial reasoning
Build number foundations before moving to harder topics
All three topics are below 60% — fractions and word problems at 40% show that gaps in core number sense are blocking progress. The priority is strengthening fundamentals, not drilling harder questions.
Action plan
- 1Spend 15 minutes daily on times tables and mental arithmetic until all facts to 12×12 are instant — this unlocks fractions and word problems
- 2Use visual fraction models (fraction bars, pizza diagrams) before introducing written procedures — the concept must come before the algorithm
- 3Solve one word problem daily: circle the numbers, underline what is being asked, draw a picture before writing any calculation
