What are the three numbers on the SEAG Statement of Outcomes?
Answered by Sam Stirling, former P7 teacher · Last checked: 2 November 2026
The short answer
Two scores, one for English and one for Maths, and the total. The average child gets 100 in each, so 200 in total. Higher is better. The total is the one the schools look at.
More detail
Your child sat two papers. Each had 28 English and 28 Maths questions. All 56 English questions are marked together and turned into one English SAS (Standardised Age Score); all 56 Maths questions into one Maths SAS. Most children land between 85 and 115 in each. The highest possible is 141, the lowest 69.
The TSAS (Total Standardised Age Score) is the two added together. Average 200. Range 138 to 282. The cohort percentile says how many children in every 100 your child scored higher than. The band is a label put on that percentile.
