I hear you; and I tried. However, at first it made no difference. At the end of year 6, I achieved a level 4b. That would of placed me in the middle set for year 7 maths. Although my school decided to assess us again with a placement test. I was placed in the top set, because I have achieved a 4a in that. For a matter of months, I had been working at a 5c. I couldn't move any higher. I tried hard, I worked hard. I even revised a lot more than usual a few weeks before my end of year 7 tests. After taking the tests, I was informed that I had achieved a level 5c. I thought that now I would end up in middle set in year 8. Wrong, it was a mistake! The database had been muddled up and I found myself in the year 8 top set maths. I thought that it was because of my low attendance, as 5c was high for someone who has as low attendance as me! But no, I found out I achieved a level 6c in that maths test! With only little pressure!
So that's how you achieve a level 6c for maths at the end of year 7. Revise, but not too much, and take regular breaks. Have a good night of sleep the night before your maths test and you may even achieve higher. Sorry about the long story, but I hope you get the idea of it...

It depends what school you go to.In my school, where we specialise in maths, the average level would be about a 6c. But in a grammer school it could be higher. If you mean the national curriculum levels then the average is about 4a-5c. Hope this helped :)
6B is high so is 6c and maybebe 5a
These days, lots of secondary schools in England are starting to settle for a level 4a. The truth is, I am in a school that specialises in business and enterprise and in some cases, a level 5b at the end of year 7 may place you in top set for year 8. I achieved a level 6c at the end of year 7 and ended up in top set for year 8. Really, a 4a, 5c or 5b is average; occasionally a 5b may be high.
In year eight, the government expects pupils to be a level 5a at English, Maths and Science. The exceptional pupils should be at a level 6b for English, a 7 at science and a 7/8 for maths. Hope this helps.
Very Good! Expect to be in top set for year 8. It will be very hard. Answer That is equivalent to c-b grade GCSE! Well I got 6A for Maths and i got into bottom set out of 4 sets but to be fair I do go to Englands best school.
