SAT's......?

Question

1. Why do we HAVE to do them.

2. What did you get in your year 6 SATS????

I got 5 5 5 :D

Answer 1

We have SATS because our secondary schools use our results to place us into different tutors. If you got level three then they would use our results and put us into the lowest group in secondary school. By the way I got 5a 5b 5b.

Answer 2

I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING AND I HAVE LEARNED THIS FROM BEING IN COLLEGE .........THE SAT'S AND ACT TEST SCORE'S IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY OTHER BECAUSE WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR COLLEGE THEY LOOK AT THEM SCORES TO SEE WHERE TO PLACE AT LIKE WHAT LEVEL CLASSES YOU WILL FOR EXAMPLE : SAY YOU HAD THE HIGHEST SCORE POSSIBLE IN MATH YOU WOULD START OFF IN ADVANCED MATH SO THEREFORE YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY UP INTO THE ADVANCED CLASSES BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU STARTED OFF.......

Answer 3

To be honest, SATs are just a moneymaking scheme to make the school look GOOD; they publish the league tables; many schools open revision classes so they can get the best results possible. This year, i think the contract with ETS was worth 1.6 million for marking. This money can be used with other educational resources.

2. I'm in year 10 now.

In year 6 i got:                 3 years ago...

445  [ 5 inscience]

Year 9 i got:

665 [ 5 in English]

You are really clever to get 555.

Answer 5

when i was in yr.6 i got: 5,5,4.

they are there to test you to see how well you learnt the current key stage, and if you are ready for key stage 3.

Answer 6

When you leave school you'll realise that S.A.T's really were a waste of time. Dont worry about them worry more about G.C.S.E's and A levels as they actually matter.

I got 5 5 6
