SATS for year 9...

[sarey]

do they matter for your career & stuff? or am i just worried and nervous for no reason? i'm not even at school to take them, i'm really nervous about them so i'm avoiding going in. :s not the best of my ideas...

so do they matter or are they just like year 6 sats, to see where you're at ect?

[shiver]

i have them today and i'm fairly worried, i think they just depend on the set you're in next year for gcse.

they do decide sets, but you can move up and down groups if you do better/worse. all they are is to show how well the school is doing, they're the exact same as yer 6 sats, nothing to worry about tbh.

[cocaine]

they dont count for any jobs or careers.

[sarey]

oww, so ive just skipped school today for no reason then? lol...

see, i was really worried, still am a bit, so when i think im gonna fail at stuff i say stuff it and dont bother, just how i work. :p

meh. now i dunno whatta dooo...

It's not to late to go school, seeing as the exam for everyone I think is at 12:00.

My school gets a "study leave" so they called it .

so im stuck now.

Yes they do but not much , they decide what sort of papers you take for GCSE's , if you do bad in SATs you get put into a lower set and won't be tuaght as much therefore effecting your GCSE grade , if you get less then a C then your very unlikely to get a good job

o.O

k that worries me.

Not serious at all. You're making them out to be the be all and end all. If you do bad in SATs then you will start off in lower sets for GCSE but if you do well on modular exams then there is no reason why you won't be moved up. The schools is there to do what is best for you. If that means teaching you until you get a D then fine, if it means teaching you for an A, also fine.

You shouldn't skip them though, still important to test the school o.O
