Pre-Interview Assessments
Dear University of Cambridge,
I request the following information regarding the pre-interview admissions assessments taken in November 2016:
1) Any mark schemes, model solutions or example answers produced for the Section 2 papers.
2) The 'score conversion' tables used to convert raw marks in the multiple choice sections (i.e. the number of correct responses) to scaled scores (from 1.0 to 9.0).
Yours faithfully,
Michael Rawsthorne

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your response.
Can you confirm whether your response to Question 2 includes any information held by UCLES/Cambridge Assessment Admissions Testing? If their FOI requests are handled separately, could you please pass my request (Question 2 only) on to them.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Rawsthorne
Dear Mr Rawsthorne,
You are correct that the response related solely to information held by the University of Cambridge and not any information held by the Cambridge Assessment group of companies, which handles its own FOI requests (as per the information published at http://www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/co.... We have passed your Q2 onto them today.
