P8 scores 1- 8

[jmcq555]

so the scoring of grades in P8 will go G=1 to A* = 8

 

Does anyone know how set in stone this is or if it could change?

I hear rumours that there will also be a Grade 9 (A*+ or A**)??

 

Also, U will be 0.

 

This makes sense in a way. Calculating average Value Added when U was so many points away from G made some interesting numbers!

 

Anyway, in answer to your question, ask me again this time next year after the election...

I think there are both 1-8 AND 1-9 scales that will be in use by the time we get to 2017!

 

The 1 - 8 scale is being applied to P8 as @jmcq555 said; the 1-9 scale will come in with the revised GCSE's (En & Ma initially) in 2017.

 

How we fit both scales together when, from 2017, we will have both 1-9 and G - A* grades operating is a mystery as yet!

thanks everyone.

agree about U dragging the numbers down
