Details

You can use these tables to convert raw scores to scaled scores for the 2026 KS2 national curriculum tests.

A scaled score between 100 and 120 shows the pupil has met the expected standard in the test. The lowest scaled score that can be awarded on a KS2 test is 80. The highest score is 120.

Pupils need to have a raw score of at least 3 marks to be awarded the minimum scaled score.

For further information, please also refer to our guidance on understanding scaled scores at KS2.
