Eight pages.
Every skill named.
Not a grade and not a percentile. A score with its honest range, each strand marked strong or worth work, the likely thinking behind every wrong answer, and a short list of what to do next.
One number, with its honest range.
A stable scale score, not a mark out of a hundred. The band shows how confident the estimate is, which is the part most reports leave out.
Typical for grade 6 is around 620.
Maya sits above the typical grade 6 band overall. That single fact is useful, but it hides the part that matters: two strands inside this score are well behind the rest. The next page is where that shows up.
Every strand, marked honestly.
Five to nine strands per subject, each one placed on the same scale so you can see the spread inside a single score.
Question by question, with the thinking behind it.
Every wrong answer is named, along with the most likely misconception that produced it. This is the page tutors ask for.
Four things to work on, in order.
Ranked by how much each one is holding the rest back, not by where they sit in the curriculum.
Why a range, not a number
Any single test is an estimate. Publishing the band it sits in is more honest than a false decimal, and it stops a good day or a bad day being read as real movement.
Why no percentile
A percentile needs a norm sample of our own, and we have not collected one. We use the published grade-level figures this kind of assessment uses, and we say so.

The sample above is real in structure and made up in content. Forty minutes at the kitchen table replaces the made-up part.
