New Lower Secondary Checkpoint performance bands and scores (excluding Global Perspectives) – Jan 2023 onward

From January 2023, we introduced new performance bands for both Progression Tests and Cambridge Checkpoint. The six new performance bands are unclassified, basic, aspiring, good, high and outstanding.

From the May 2023 Cambridge Checkpoint series, all Lower Secondary Checkpoint reports will show a score on a 0 to 50 scale (rather than a score on the legacy 0.0 to 6.0 scale).

You can view our video on the new performance bands and reporting here, as well as further guide and frequency asked questions about these changes.
