Are tests standardised year on year?
• Statistical techniques are used to ensure that tests in a subject can be compared year on year, as can topics/skills within subjects. The results of the tests – for the whole subject and for each topic/skill – are reported on a standardised scale of Cambridge Checkpoint scores. Cambridge Checkpoint scores range from 0.0 (a low level of achievement) to 6.0 (a high level of achievement). The average score for Cambridge Checkpoint students is about 3.0–4.0.
