welcome to the forum - my understanding is that prematurity is not considered in age standardisation - would get very complicated with 10+ year old evidence required to show what the EDD was compared with the actual date of birth. Problems would occur if born abroad say or dates straddle academic years.Hi,
My twin daughters took Bucks 11+ and one of them got qualified and another got 118(age standardised score-Verbal-120,Maths-118 and NVR-114). Head teacher was supportive and they expected the child to qualify the exam as well. recommendation of 2:1, year 5-GDS in reading and Maths, year 6-prediction-GDS in all areas.
They were preterm and born 2 months before their actual due date.
can anyone help me with what are the chances given that we have not called out that she is twin and other one got qualified, as we primarily wanted to focus only on the specific child's academics. would preterm of 2 months be considered at all in age standardisation.
Thanks

the advice is that significant prematurity may have an impact in schoolwork but this would have probably shown up all during the school career
