Year 9 SATS ?

[PaulMacC]

Everyone hypes them up to be uber hard ?

Are they and are they worthless or do you need them

[Energizer]

they determine what groups you'll be in for GCSE's

lol nah, dont bother getitng hyped.

We have been set for our GCSEs so SATs are worthless.

[Toughened]

I think the teachers make them out to be more than what they really are. I'm taking my SATS too this year and I think it does set you for next year and the year after but I think it's also to assess the school too. To see if the teachers and what not are doing there job properly.
That's my opinion anyway.

They are not immensly hard! Not as hard as Gcse's i tell you that! But revise and do what you teachers say and youl be fine!

[Luckyrare]

meh, they are only purely for the school grading; my tutor says there a waste of time

[Zuar]

coz our school is clever lolol

[shiver]

i am doing them this year :@ i need good results xx

[Moozo]

Yeh I is doing them this year. ALL of my teachers say they are a load of crap. Tbf its completely unfair on us, because we have a middle school tier system, which means primary school finishes at eyar 4, we move onto a middle school and finish that in year 8, then go to high school. at the end of year 8 we had 'transfer tests', so they knew what sets to put us in when we got there. As soon as we got there they made us do another set of tests to know whats sets they put us in and we was like omg we done this. anyway all the teachers say sats are crap but then they go omg reviseeee! which is probably because they get marked on how well they are teaching their class depending on the grades we get I suppose. AND, why do we have a whole shakespeare paper, now that is a load of bull. We have them in May. ALSO, i know this is off topic but HOW USELESS IS CITIZENSHIP/PSHE AND RE???? all that work for only 1 gcse put together! that is just CRAP! I wouldnt mind as much if we got one for each, but no, and especially in citizenship we have to write an essay like every month, then they never get graded anyway.

I think that's my longest post ever, kthxbi.

They are only really for School Ratings, other than that pretty much worthless. Nice to get a good grade though
