[Firehorse]

GL to me and everyone else on here doing them in a couple of weeks!

[Xarea]

Christ, Year 9 SATs - seem's like ages ago since I did them - good luck :)!

[Recursion]

Good luck :P GCSEs is where the luck is really needed :(

[OmgitsAmanda]

I did my SATS last year whilst I was in year 8. They're easy =] and good luck.

[Leetzgirl]

i got them in 2 weeks :D

[L?KE]

Rofl, good luck and all.

But they mean nothing?

Ok so I got like top marks on all of em, but it doesn't mean anything. It determines your sets in your 10 ;P

SATs aren't like GCSEs :S You don't do some early, they're to get your level at the end of each key stage and tell how good the school is.

[JackBuddy]

[Leetzgirl]

Shakespear thing god

has anyone seen last years one

deribe the mood of this scene with another scene :|

[Firehorse]

I got something like a 4a in shakespear in mock sats. I doubt i'll do much better unless the question is really easy. The English dept think that this years writing task will be on persuasion. :(

It's piss easy.

[prada]

in my mocks i got like 67/100 or something so it was a middle 6 i think! i only got 4/18 marks though on my shakespear paper because i just couldnt think of anything lol! been getting like 10/18 though recently on the constant mocks we are doing! its stupid though how much work they set goddd.

[AndyDude312]

English is gonna be main prob for me. I hate the reading paper. Maths though is too easy for me :$. Lvl 8.7 in my mock. My maths teacher wants to give me a GCSE paper:O! Science is ok as long I don't say something stupid.

[Judge Judy]

SATs determine:
1. How well teachers are performing.
2. Probably what sets you'll be in for GCSE

Did it last year, for Shakespeare I had to do Richard III. Good luck.

EDIT: You do Shakespeare because it's Culture, was told that last year and now doing Romeo and Juliet in GCSE

[Shinigami]

I think I'll do fine in all, but I'm a bit worried about english, which I'm meant to be good at but I don't know. Anyway I got maths gcses to worry about in about 2 weeks urgh

[ToxicPaddy]

Im in a grammar school and we are predicted to get a medium level 7 (7B) in all SATS, english maths and science. Im good at English and Maths but because our science teacher has never been here and we always get stuck with some sports cover teacher who doesn't know anything about science, I don't think I am going to do well (well, at least not a medium level 7).

I know how that feels, in year 8 we had a crap science teacher, and all I was getting was like level 5s but then she thankfully left and we got our old teacher back and now I'm level 7. In maths I'm 8C and my targets 8B, in english I dont even have a clue, we've changed teachers constantly this year and now we have some fat woman that looks like katy freeman (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ld2m1y8jSnE).

[MattyBoy]

Im pretty worried on the shakespeare paper, im not too confindent on that.

[Cisse9]

We got maths tommorow in the morning,

I'm pretty confident about the english just maths im probaly not gonna do that well.

Anyone else got maths first?

[AndyDude312]

Yeh I do, it was nice to have a day off today though, even if it was full of revision.

[emzar]

Yep, dreading tomorrow Maths my weakest subject great! 6C im predicted got it in the mocks just worrying about the mental maths.

English and science piece of cake just be glad when they'll be all over!

[Kardan]

You'll breeze through it if you revise...

I did and got 8, 7, 7 but it depends if it's got harder, easier since I did them... But seeing what's on the news these days it seems they get easier and easier :)

[ToxicPaddy]

I think everyone has maths tomorrow, then english wednesday and thursday, and science friday.

Does anyone know when we get our sats results?

[Ashhizzle]

For me, I got Maths and Science before the end of the school year during class. English results in September during class.

Do SATs determine anything except what set you are going to be in next year?

They are significant to the school as they form part of the Fisher Family Trust predictions for GCSE, and the school will get scrutinised on the outcome of the GCSE results versus the predicted results from the SATs (something called added value).

[Axel]

That Fisher Family Trust thing says I'm going to get an A in English GCSE but I probably won't... my coursework is an A but in exams I get B/C.

[Zak]

They mean nothing, just to make the school look good :)

Totally right man! Before our first test the head came up to me in particular and said to me that my level mattered to him as much as it did to me :eusa_wall

Sometimes being clever ain't so good.

How can you say that, of course it's good - I love it :P

And that shouln't worry you or anything, cos it means he knows you'll do well and if you do somehow mess up it's not like he's going to kill you.
