My son recently received his "results" but I can't make head nor tail of them he scored 7 in both Maths and English. Can anybody enlighten me as to what these tests are for? I can't wait till he goes back to school so any help would be appreciated....
 
Hi, my son scored a ten, which Im told is well above the avarage,so if this is the case and your son got a 7, then he did very well and you have no need to worry.
 
Some good advice on www.educationposts.ie Nothing to worry about with a score of 7. Pupils who attend Learning Support generally get in a Sten of below 3. 7+ definitely puts your son in the upper end of class
 
just looked at the site mentioned above, it appears to be a recruitment site? didnt see anywhere to find out about sten tests?
