Key Stage 2 tests Scaled scores

KS2 scaled scores: every raw mark, test by test

STA turns each test’s raw marks into a scaled score from 80 to 120 with a new table each year, published in July after the May tests. 100 is the expected standard.

Checked against the sources on 3 October 2026. Each table is STA’s, copied mark by mark from gov.uk. By Misheli Ltd. How we research

What the numbers mean.

“The lowest scaled score that can be awarded on a KS2 test is 80. The highest scaled score is 120. Pupils scoring at least 100 will have met the expected standard in the test.”
Source: gov.uk, Understanding scaled scores at key stage 2

110 or more is the higher standard. A scaled score is given only for a whole test: every paper of the subject, its raw marks added. “No scaled score” is STA’s entry for the lowest marks. The next tests’ table is published after those tests and may differ by a few marks.
