Section B - Progress Chart and Summary table.
The Progress chart displays the two SAS scores for each pupil as a dot in a scatter plot. There should be
one dot for each pupil except for pupils that have the same values on both tests and the dots will overlap.
The range of expected scores on the second test are indicated by the upper and lower dashed red lines.

Comparisons
Nationally, around 70% of pupils are expected to be within this range. Where a pupil's score is above the
upper red dashed line they have made significantly more progress than expected, where their score is below
the lower red dashed line they have made significantly less progress than expected. 15% of pupils
nationally are above the upper red dashed line and a further 15% below the lower red dashed line.
Section C - Pupil Listing Ordered by Surname.
The listing includes pupil’s SAS scores on each test as well as the difference in SAS scores. The progress
category indicates if a pupil's progress based on the SAS score is in the ‘As Expected’, ‘Upper’ or ‘Lower’
categories. Nationally, around 70% of pupils are expected to be in the ‘As Expected’ category, 15% of
pupils in the ‘Upper’ category and a further 15% in the ‘Lower’ category. The listing includes pupils that
have completed just one of the two tests and no progress categories are reported for these pupils.
