31 Health Warnings Size of cohort and impact on comparison/statistical significance Ensure you know what is being analysed and if comparisons are being made between subjects/schools they are using the same data set Be aware of national changes to entry policies - linear Is there ‘ like for like’ between awarding bodies? Are the results given based on best or first? Are measures of progress made only taking account of results where a student’s previous scores are known or the whole cohort. Looking for trends over time is very important – but becoming more difficult in terms of results due to national changes in entry policy – it is difficult to asses like for like.
