Rather than providing your child's ranking in their mock exam, we provide a predicted exam score, based on which exam your child is sitting.
The predicted exam score is based on a proprietary algorithm that has been developed using several years of historical data on children's scores in our mock exam versus their scores in their real exams.
Your child's predicted score automatically takes their ranking into account, however, it goes a step further by factoring in your child's likely improvement over the next few months and weighting the subjects in the same way as the real exam.
We know that our score prediction algorithm is accurate as multiple parents every year tell us that our score prediction was exactly or almost exactly the same as their child's real exam score.
MOCK TEST COMPARISON
The example below shows how our mock test summary compares to other providers. The following excerpts are from real reports for a student that sat the Bexley exam in 2020. This child scored 215 in the real exam.
As you can see below, the Kin Learning mock exam predicted a score of 221 in the real exam. A mock exam taken elsewhere just 10 days later gave her ranking as 317 out of 1290 in maths and non-verbal reasoning and 781 out of 1287 in English.
Although the child was sitting a Bexley mock with the other provider, their English paper also included questions on punctuation, spelling and verbal reasoning, none of which are included in the real Bexley exam. This therefore skewed her ranking and was misleading for the parents.
CHILD'S REAL BEXLEY EXAM RESULTS
KIN LEARNING MOCK EXAM SUMMARY - 18 August 2020
Note: The Bexley exam pass mark was 218 from 2017 until 2019, however, Kin Learning predicted that the pass mark would fall to 214 in 2020 (due to disruption from the pandemic), which is exactly what it did.
MOCK COMPETITOR A REPORT - 28 August 2020
Rather than offering an overall prediction of the child's score, the competitor's report gave her ranking in two different papers. The child's English ranking put her in the bottom 50% of students and the summary of her skills categorised her as "weak". This mistakenly gave the impression that the child had a very slim chance of passing.
