Hi Nicola,

As far as I am aware you will see your child’s Standardised Age Scores, their Cohort Percentile and Band in the SEAG Entrance Assessment results.
You will also be given your child’s raw scores in the two papers they sat.
The lower the band, the better the score. So Band 1 contains the highest scores and Band 6 the lowest.
Please take a look at the document compiled by SEAG called SEAG Statement of Outcomes 2025: Information and Guidance for Parents (under Other Resources) at this link https://seagni.co.uk/guidance-for-parents/resources

Kind regards,

Hi Louise,
I think you might have got us confused with SEAG who are the ones that administer the actual SEAG tests. We just write practice papers to help you revise for the tests. You should contact https://seagni.co.uk/ with any queries about the official exams.
Kind regards,

So on results day we will see a score and an allocated band?

Hi Mary,
The Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS) is the overall outcome from the Entrance Assessment, based on the 56 English (or Gaeilge) Questions in Papers 1 and 2 and the 56 Maths questions in

Papers 1 and 2. The Total SAS is the sum of the English (or Gaeilge) SAS and the Maths SAS. The Total SAS range will be 138-282 with a mean (or average) of 200.

A Standardised Age Score (SAS) takes account of a child’s age when he/she took the assessment, the number of correct answers and the degree of difficulty of the assessment.

Outcomes are also given as one of six Bands. The Bands are designated as Band 1, Band 2, Band 3, Band 4, Band 5 and Band 6 and Cohort* Percentiles are used to determine the borderline for each Band. * *Cohort means all those who take the SEAG Entrance Assessment in a given year.

SEAG Band & Cohort Percentile

1 – 60%+

2 – 50-59%

3 – 40-49%

4 – 30-39%

5 – 20-29%

6 – 20% and below

60%+ (Band 1) means pupils who are in the top 40% of those who sat the Assessment; 50-59% (Band 2) means pupils who are in the top 50% but not the top 40% of those who sat the Assessment etc.

This information is taken from the SEAG website. It is complicated as it is a standardised score. Think of Band 1 being the top 40% of the children who sat the test.
I hope that helps,
Clare

Will it be an actual mark or a percentage rate?

Many thanks
