KS2 Scaled Scores 2016–2026: Conversion Tables & Pass Marks
Convert any KS2 SATs raw score into a scaled score, and see how many marks were needed for the expected standard (100) and a high score (110) in reading, maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling – every year since 2016.
Raw score to scaled score converter
Use the table for the same year as the paper. Maths is the total of all three papers; GPS is the total of both papers.
KS2 SATs pass marks by year
The raw marks needed for a scaled score of 100 (the expected standard) and 110 (a high score, often called greater depth). There were no KS2 tests in 2020 or 2021.

What the numbers show
- Reading: the expected standard has needed between 21 (2016) and 29 (2022) marks out of 50 – roughly 42–58% of the paper.
- Maths: between 54 (2024) and 61 (2018) marks out of 110 – about half the marks.
- GPS: between 34 (2026) and 43 (2016) marks out of 70.
- The high score (110) needs far more: around 85% of the marks in maths and 78% in reading in 2026.

How KS2 scaled scores work
Each test is first marked to give a raw score. The Standards and Testing Agency then converts raw scores into scaled scores from 80 to 120. A scaled score of 100 always means the expected standard, so a child who scores 100 in 2026 has reached the same standard as a child who scored 100 in 2016 – even though the number of marks needed was different.
- 80 is the lowest scaled score, given for 3 marks or more. With 0–2 marks, no scaled score is awarded.
- 100–109 means the expected standard has been met.
- 110 or more is reported as a high score (working at a higher standard).
- 120 is the highest scaled score. In some years it can be reached without full marks.
Using the tables with practice papers
When children sit an older paper as a mock, mark it with that year’s mark scheme and convert the total using that year’s table. Scores from different years can then be compared fairly. To see exactly which questions and topics a class lost marks on, the KS2 question level analysis tools do the conversion for you and break results down by question.

What is a scaled score in KS2 SATs?
A scaled score turns a child’s raw score (the number of marks) into a score from 80 to 120. A scaled score of 100 or more means the child has met the expected standard. Scaling lets results be compared fairly from year to year, even though each year’s tests are slightly easier or harder.
What is the KS2 SATs pass mark in 2026?
In 2026, children needed 25 out of 50 in reading, 56 out of 110 in maths and 34 out of 70 in grammar, punctuation and spelling to reach a scaled score of 100, the expected standard.
What is a high score in KS2 SATs?
A scaled score of 110 or more is reported as working at a higher standard (often called greater depth). In 2026 that needed 39 marks in reading, 94 in maths and 55 in GPS.
Why do the pass marks change every year?
Each year’s papers are different, so the number of marks needed for a scaled score of 100 is set after the tests, to keep the standard the same. A harder test needs fewer marks; an easier test needs more.
What does N mean in the table?
N means no scaled score is awarded. A child needs at least 3 marks to be given the lowest scaled score of 80.
Are there scaled scores for 2020 and 2021?
No. The KS2 SATs were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic, so there are no scaled score tables for those years.
How do I convert a practice paper score?
Mark the paper with its mark scheme, add up the raw score, then use the conversion table for the same year as the paper. For maths, add the marks from all three papers (out of 110); for GPS, add both papers (out of 70).
Is the writing assessment given a scaled score?
No. KS2 writing is teacher assessed, so there is no test and no scaled score. Science is also teacher assessed.
