im really trying hard this year and i wanna get good grades but in year 6 i tried hard and the questions in sats were hard and im worried if the same happens to me again i dont wanna get a level 4 i wanna get at least a high 5 ;[ or 6 ;( any advice on how to get better grades? not just trying hard in school
Revising doesn't work, so make sure you pay attention at the little things the teachers say. I got 6 in SATS when predicted a 7 in English. Maths is just about common sense, make sure you understand everything and for science listen for the important things.
=] Hope I helped.
thanks :) im gonna revise a bit so i remember stuff but im actually doing well in maths this year im always first to finish and always like first to put hand up but for science and english i really gotta listen and not chat. the naughty idiots they got a level higher predicted score then me and all they do is talk and annoy you. im gonna do that samlearning site and see whats scores i get.
WRONG! If you start revising a decent while before your SATS, literally, a couple of months, and devise a timetable to give you an idea what you are going to study, and for how long revising works!Quote:

Or if you are me, you have to use the both, and stick notes on the wall all around the place to take it all in.
Revising is important, it may not seem it, but it is! On top of that, obviously; concentration in lessons is important. You don't need to try as such, you just need to pay attention ;)
Thanks nixt :) im doing the samlearning site and im reading a passage atm and answering questions its a bit hard but im gonna ask my mum so she can help and get some revision books. i might do extra classes i dunno dont care if its "geeky" as people say cause it might help more and i really want to get a good grade.
Don't worry about sats, there easy..
It's not geeky imo. If you want to learn and do well, then that's something to be proud of. Try your best, and good luck :)Quote:

Revising does work ''/ and don't even worry about SATs there the biggest load of poo ever because there soo easy the teachers hype them up to be these big , hard and important tests but they aint really.Quote:

When you go apply for a job no-one's going to say "Ok and how did you do in your year 6 and 9 SATs?", because you'll have done GCSEs and possibly A levels by that time, and any job you get before that won't require qualifications of any sort.
My main suggestion to you would be that you absolutely must pay attention in school. Revising's no good if you never learned something in the first place, as it won't make any sense to you. However, at SATs level the only reason I can think of to revise is so you know how to revise for GCSEs, otherwise I really wouldn't bother.
