Too early and definitive of the children's future. Difficult for the child to realise what they are good at. It streams people at a very young age. The stress on students at 12 - because it is high stakes.

Past: The Math exams...the last two questions will differentiate you
Now: Now it is not so differentiating
The 250-260, 
260-270 

This banding is randomized 
The posting is then across many schools in a larger band
