Usually they would set you based on 50% your SATS results and 50% end of unit tests. But due to lack of examiners, the SATS results won't be arriving until the summer holidays. (Hard luck Buddy! Oh, the suspense!) So the school sets us purely based on end of unit tests.
I'm also doing my SATS next week. I think I'm gonna do worse in science. Because you just have to know stuff is science but in Maths it's mostly common sense if you know what I mean. It's so annoying when they give you soooo much homework from other subjects just before your SATS! :mad: It's like they're doing it on purpose to get in the way of your revision! :mad:
"I spent thirty years learning manners, and I spent twenty years learning knowledge."
It really is just to see if we are at the right academic level, but we have enough class tests and teacher assessments for teachers to know what level we are.
Acually.. it depends..
SAT's CAN be vital.
For me they were .. as my school put us into tiers for GSCE's depending on the results we acheived.
Apparently they are also to prepare us for our GCSE.
Apparently, SATs and GCSE are two totally different things. :confused:
My year got the best maths results (SATs) in the history of the school .. yet we are fniding maths ever so hard now :'(
oh PLEASE don't mention GCSEs!!! The thought gives me the collywobbles!!!
Anyway..talking of GCSE, yep they were fun. U can spend hours and hours doing courseworks, and revise for the exams at the same time..yep, the fun, its so fun i am surprised its not illegal yet...
hehe lol, nah, SATS are not that important, i didnt do too good but i still got good grades in GCSE...anyway, SATS r the time to pull ur socks up B)
Our school keep saying 'get good grades so we can stay on the league table'.
So now, they've said it soooo much, we feel that we need to do well for the school not for ourselves as an idividual.
Dont need to worry too much about SATs - i mean it is not like anyone really cares about them outside of school. Its just a test at the end of the day to see if the students are working at the level that they should be. i think the average for your year is about 5 or 6 - tis one of them.
I did absolutely crap in my SATs for english - got a level 3 (you may laugh at that all you want - i do). but i still managed to get a GCSE C in it at the end of year 11 so im not fussed.
I also managed to get a 5 in maths and science so im not bothered bout the SATS they didnt mean anything when i got them and they dont mean anything now - im not going to get employed just because i got a level whatever in science, you know what i mean?
The important years of secondary school are year 10 and 11 cus thats when the GCSE's arrive cus these actually do matter.
That is not to say that you dont revise for your SATs though - they are still exams so its best to do your best init
good luck on your SATS. I am sure you will be able to beat my score of level 3 in english :-)
oh w8 - that level 3 was for the mock...i got a 4 in the real one..hehe
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
sats are easy peasy
actually i might just have missed one sats exam?
but really, they dont look at your results all the time to put you into set..they look at your progress throughout the year too
and maths gcse and maths sats r totally different. omg maths was so hard :'( i missed half the questions in gcse exams

Join the club. But I had other reasons, not 'cos they were 'hard', seriously.
But SATs are easy, and they're not really important at all. Your first ever set of grades to go on your C.V. are going to be GCSE's/O Levels as this is the minimum amount of education you must have. So don't worry about SATs too much, I think they use the results to decide which tier you will start in your GCSE classes, so in a way, it's best if you do try hard.
Insha Allah may Allah make them easy upon you. All the best.
Got a question, or got something in general to say or ask me, drop me a line. Peace out!
Say:"O Allah. Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power.
I'v got mine as well next week and i was dying to ask some this question.
so much revision and i agree on the bit that treachers give us soo much homework!!
only when we have got tests!
