SIMS Assessment - KS1 use of 'N' grade in scaled scores
Posted 22nd June 2016

Earlier this month, the DfE released the tables to convert Key Stage 1 raw scores into scaled scores.
The tables showed that raw scores of 0, 1 or 2 convert to a scaled score of 'N'. However, this was contrary to what had been expected and therefore the existing Key Stage 1 wizard in SIMS does not allow for the recording of an 'N'.Therefore, CAPITA have just released a new Key Stage 1 wizard and this can be downloaded below:

- EN KS1: Reading Test Scaled Score AWL
