Todays SATs

How did your maths SATs go today if you did them? The mental maths was annoying because of the echo in the hall and the darn lawnmower outside!

If you get below your target grade, get your parents to complain that you couldn't concentrate.

Erm why would you complain about not meeting your target grades for sats.

For one, they are very easy, and two they mean nothing.

Yes it does matter. It decides what sets you get put into and if you get put in a foundation group you can only achieve about a C grade if your in top you can achieve higher.

They were well easy, easier then the mock '06 and '07 one. Mental maths was annoying cos it had some stupid questions...

'On average, I breathe 20 times a minute...'
'Add 10 to 99...'

LOL:/

Yes, sets well done...

If you are put into the wrong set, over the two years you will be moved...

So they are basically useless.

But lets say for example you get put in a high set instead of a fast track set, you won't be able to move up to the fast track set because they're way ahead in the two years cirriculum :)

I liked the shopping one, one woman spent 98 pound and paid like 87 or something, and one man spent 120 or something and paid 87 too... bummer on her. LOLOL

Lmao A to H was easy. The gradient one was well gay.

Yeah but, they are bound to notice that you are in the wrong set before the two years are up. If they don't then the school is stupid.

I wasn't looking to argue with everyone, just voicing my opiniong.

I know there is only 2 sets tho.

But they can't change your set if you were put in a set below a fast track group :)

I think the tests were actually easier than any other ones I've done. In my mock I got lvl 8.7 so I hope I do better. I did 6-8 and I loved the x-y=x+y+1 or somthing. I got x=3y. I also liked the 1000 people flipping a coin becaused I revised compound interest last night :D

I know it was like a year 2 question and the gradient thing I did not have a clue.

Of course they can change your set? They just put you into the new one, and enrole you the fast track. My school did that...

Nor did. It had no information.

wasn't the gradient thing: y=3x+2 what is the gradient? If so its 3
y=mx+c
m = gradient

Yeah, you are right, and it crosses the y-axis at 2?

But how was this relevant lmao.

People were saying how they didn't understand it?

Anyway, English writing today. For the guy who got lost I thought about Castaway (the rubbish Tom Hanks film which is always on ITV1) and for the letter to the Headteacher I needed a rhetorical question so I put at the end (following the sentence: "It will not be a repeat performance of last time") "What could go wrong?" :s lol.

Today, I did the "Facing the Challenge" reading and Much Ado About Nothing, which I only wrote a page and a bit for :(

Maths, paper 1 found difficult but mental maths and paper 2 didn't really have any problem with. The answer to the gradient question is 3 btw. English was alright surprised how easy the shakespeare question was. Science tomorrow, hope all the revision has paid off!
08-05-2008, 08:55 PM

Mental maths was fine, non calculator was fine but calculator was hard.

English longer writing task was fine, as was the shorter writing task.

Shakespeare question on Much Ado About Nothing was, well, pointless I guess, we didn't learn about that in class the teacher kept going on about how we will receive questions like 'If you was the director of the film how would you make Benedick or Beatrice say their line', but it was one question explaining how being in love was not always easy :rolleyes:

Not looking forward to science. We never have our teacher here we haven't had him for a week straight since september, then we get stuck with some sports teacher who is a cover who knows nothing about science, and for a month or two we had a student science teacher so I have learnt NOTHING in science, not looking forward to it at all...

I Remember Doing My SATs Last Year
I thought They Were Really Easy & Nothing To Worry About :)
And I Came Out With Good Marks :)

The maths was easy, like, really easy, and so was the english writing/reading. I struggled on the shakesspeare one. The idea to get 18 marks is to make 6 points, 6 quotes, and 6 explanations, and i got 5, so 18 is the MOST i can get :| damn,

The thing is alot of people lose marks on Shakepseare because they waffle on about stuff that isn't relative to the question oh and for shakespeare, for 18 marks you needed at least 5 paragraphs (including intronand conclusion) so 3 main points each with Point Evidence Explanation and Link. The link is lvl 7 bit. That's what my teacher says anyways.

Science tests were easy today. First one today was easy, 2nd was soooooo easy I finished in half an hour.

Anyway, (OT but still) I gotta go get my BCG now :(

the 5-7 science was EASY. =]
