7 6 6 without revising, they are a piece of piss (especially Maths).

Lol if they were that easy surely you would have got higher?

I hope they introduce something else for the Year 9s, purely so that they can get an experience of true test conditions for when they do their GCSEs.

I couldn't get higher than what I got (apart from the 5 but I hate science :))

I still haven't got my SATs results and its 1 week into year 10 :@

All exams are pointless. Anyone can sit and read a couple of books before a test and get a good grade but it doesn't mean they are actually that clever... if you get what i mean lol

i suspect if they are getting rid of them then schools will do their own 'SATs' and use them as practice and to place them in rough sets

SATs are already scrapped in Wales. Instead, I did some of my GCSEs this year.

damn, I just completed mine and ended up with better sats than expected.

I agree they should be gone. I got like 7 7 6 in mine, without revising aswell.
