View Full Version : SATs
There are quite a lot of year nines on here so I thought it would be good to make up a thread similar to the one for GCSEs. I also thought it might be good to test each other to see what we need to revise?

o god dont remind me! lol erm ive still got loads to do and sats are in about 1 week! still have no idea what simultaneous equations are
o god dont remind me! lol erm ive still got loads to do and sats are in about 1 week! still have no idea what simultaneous equations areSimultaenous equations are basically two equations where x and y are equal in both of them. You'd probably get asked to solve them.
Example:
y=2x+5
x=y-15
Then you cross multiply and substitute values into different forms of the equations, and come out with the value for x and y. Simple really :D
Any revision guide should explain it to you properly. Thats just what i remember of then from the top of my head.
o god dont remind me! lol erm ive still got loads to do and sats are in about 1 week! still have no idea what simultaneous equations are Do you understand changing the subject of a formula? I couldn't understand that if my life depended on it. If you don't have a revision guide I could scan in the page on simultaneous equations.
You'll probably only have to answer, like, 3 questions max on algebra on the whole maths paper. Its a really small part of the SATs. If you dont understand that one thing, then you'd only lose maybe 4/5 marks max. Hardly important, really.
Looking at the bigger scale of things, the SATs tests aren't that important, because if your an A* student, and dail your SATs, they'll still put you in the high sets and put you in for the higher teir exams at GCSEs. I wouldn't worry too much about it, if i were you.
Just enjoy not having to do coursework while you can!!

It varies with the year and the levels of the paper that you are doing. What paper are you doing?

We have been told not to worry about them too much by our english and maths teachers, but in science it's like they're the end of the world. What is the importance of the science papers? I was thinking it could be more important because of the two separately awarded science GCSEs.
erm think its 5-7 what paper are you doing?
5-7. Missed 6-8 by like 3 marks:( In the 5-7 mock that I did, the main topics were shape, constructions, proportional division, changing the subject.

ye we got told our science ones are really important i think its beacuse if you do the lower paper at gcse then you can only get a grade c at the most at gcse and there are a lot of people in the top set in our year for science

Your teacher probably just wants to look like he/she is a better teacher then the others, if you lot get better grades, cause you put more effort in :rolleyes:
Your SATs results dont affect anything though. If your good at the subject, then you'll do well in your mocks, and you'll get put in higher tiers at GCSEs. I mean, SATs are good enough to compare how good you are with your mates, but thats the only thing i found they were good for. This country has too many exams!! We should go over to the New Zealand system, where you start off with year 11 GCSE equlivelants.

i heared they were just for the government to see how the school is doing!!! why do they ahve to put us under so much pressure
We were told that in English yesterday and this girl goes 'Oh so it's the ******* schools' fault we have to do the stupid things!'

1 week till SATs.. already started revising a bit, which should now turn into a lot x
This country has too many exams!! We should go over to the New Zealand system, where you start off with year 11 GCSE equlivelants
i agree about too many exams- but be glad you don't live in Hungary- my mate said they have tests every day and they go from yr9 sats level straight to A level with nothing in between! they have to do speaking and listening every day.
good luck anyone doing their SATs this year, and remember they aren't worth much compared to GCSEs and then later on GCSEs will mean nothing compared to A levels!

Don't worry about your SATS, as soon we got into year 10 we were told to forget about them because they didn't mean much and our GCSES are way more important. My teacher said that the eacher assesments usually turn out more accurate than SATs anyway, at our school anyway. Good luck to everyone whos doing them soon :)

In our school they affect what groups you get put into next year.. that's the whole point of SATs here. Oh yeah, and also to see how much you improved in levels from Year 6.

If you get A*s all the time, then fail your SATs competly, they'll still put you into the top groups. What you get wont affect that, because 9 times out of 10, they've alreadyd decided what groups your going to go into before the resutls even come out.

I've started revising but I just can't be bothered with it half the time, revising doesn't really help me much and I'd rather relax before the exams rather than revise for no reason and be under lots of stress.

I'm doing Macbeth, and I have to do it in the gym :crying:. I'm going to have to wear like 5 extra tops on that day, the gym in my school is freezing. In my school one of the top sets from each half of the year are doing much ado about nothing, I think because the school doesn't have enough Macbeth books.

I think it's totally unfair we don't get our English results back til September... I know they can't exactly give them back before them but I'll be wondering for the entire summer what I got... I'm not worried about the writing paper because I like writing stories... I'm a bit worried about the reading because some of the questions on there are very hard and I didn't even complete the practise mock one so I got 18 which is a level 5... I really am worried about the Macbeth one though because I HATE Macbeth and although yeah I'm starting to understand a bit, I'll probably be stuck on most of it :(

We had a sheet about the Macbeth one and it is only worth 18% of the final grade for English.

I think it's every time there is a new edition of the English revision guide out. They're currently on the Third Edition which is for 2005 and beyond..... Anyone ever wondered why the most up to date mock we get is from 2004?

i think ive got it now starch test is a test to see if there is any starch in the leaves if there is the iodine will go black heres the 6 steps
1)cover the palnt in darkness for24 hours
2)now let it in light for 24 hours but cover part of a leaf with black tape(so no light can get to it) and put another leaf in a tube with no carbon dioxide in it
3)take the leaves of the pant and heat them for a few mins
4) soak them in warm alcahol to make them go colourless
5)now soak them in warm water to get rid of dirt/germs
6) put iodine on them if starch is present the leaf should go balck you should find that the part which was covered in black tape wont be black because it wont have been able to photosynthesise properly nor will the leaf which was placed in a tube with hardly any carbon dioxide
you should have done the experiment in lesson some time

The mental maths was quite easy, until the last few questions where I got confused lol. Ah well I found them easier than I thought I would. :)
I got confused in the last parts of the second paper and there was quite a lot on topics which I am not very good:( Mental maths was fine until I started rubbing out correct answers and putting wrong ones:( then this woman comes along and opens the door by which I was seated and I was freezing and after the exam this girl smacked me in the face.

Aww well as long as you got most of it right, I'm sure a couple of wrong marks won't make much difference :)
Aww, did the girl do it on purpose? Or by accident?
My arm hurt a bit during the second test, as I hit my friend on my head (as a joke) and she hit me on the arm (as a joke, but it hurt! :rotfl: ).
I don't know, she seems the type that would do it on pupose as she quite happily talks behind my back on regular occasions. I just hope the unfortunate paper doesn't put me in sets with those horrid people, as there are a large number of them.

03-05-2006, 15:55
Aww, well did she say sorry and act like it was an accident either if it wasn't?
Aww hun :( Well next year, you'll be in different sets for all subjects and you're quite smart and people like that are normally quite thick.
Well this particular girl got an N in her mock so I'm hoping. I also hope I didn't do as badly as I think I did. It didn't help that I got a stomach ache half way through the mental and have still got it now. She said sorry sarcastically, like most of the people do after picking on me.

oh god i know ! i was like acute! obtuse! lol couldnt remember what they were and i think i drew the triangles wrong aswell, you know for that zoo one on the second paper where they had the microphones and you had to put an r where the microphones couldnt reach the animal...well were you meant to use a compass my friend said it was pythagoras or somethhing we havnt even learnt that!
awwww kim they wont set you next year just on these results they jave all your work and previous tests to go n aswell

Yes. Everyone has so you can't get in contact with someone from a different school and ask them what the questions were.

What's an N?
Aww Kim, it's just year 9, as we're not the youngest or the oldest so we're really cool :rolleyes: Year 10 will be better :)
Lol aww Nicole, I didn't know you were supposed to use a compass for the Microphone thing! I just labelled R in the two bottom corners! :rotfl:
You can go off the scale and get the level that is one lower than the bottom level of your paper, and an N is worse than that, a fail, ungraded or whatever.

He's in my Science group which is one of the higher sets, we did our mock a few months back and he got less than a level 3 and the paper was level 3-6.
Oh, the way you said he got an N in his science, I assumed you meant in his real SAT.

I sincerely hope that the teachers were lying to us when they said all they can do is recommend what teir you do at GCSE. I think it differs with the school though.
Oh lol! Opps :p He probably will though lol :p
I take it he didn't do any revision.

My reading one was ok... I wrote a bit too much on some of the questions though and 'waffled' on... same with Macbeth really, wrote about 3 pages! I finished both of them, but I know I've got some parts wrong... but I didn't know how to put them right! :rotfl: :p
Aww poor you Kim, how many pages you do?
Around 3 on Macbeth, but I could of easily filled up that whole booklet, had I had the time to do so. I was also concerned about quoting on the reading paper, and so finished just in the nick of time. No wonder why they say I under-achieve in tests.....

Aww hunni, you a slow writer? Or you just had to think/read a bit? I'm sure you'll do just fine, 3 pages is enough :D Apparently you should quote 10 times in the Macbeth thing... I did about 7 lol.

I did the 5-7 papers for maths and science and everyone does the same for English. I found them ok, don't think enough time was allotted for the shakespeare paper and a load of stuff that I'm not good at came up on the maths ones, so I was pretty hacked off.

Not at first, Macbeth was more or less controlled by his wife. Murder was something that really layed heavily on his conscience until he killed Duncan and then his servants, and had had a second meeting with the three witches.

I'd like to congratulate everyone on their SAT's results - you all did great and should be proud of yourselves. :D :clap:
I'm actually a little disappointed with my maths one, but it can't be helped, I've had a completely rubbish teacher for two years and we have never got an hours' work done in any one lesson.
My English teacher said that the SAT results actually arrive back at the individual schools on August 23.

Kim what did you get in maths?
7 which decimalises to a 7.2. My school just randomly decided to do that for setting, but I don't think it will go on our records decimalised.

Kim how can you be upset by that! A 7 is amazing! which paper did you take?
I did the 5-7, was a matter of marks away from being put in the 6-8 paper. I got all of the geometry questions wrong in it - just as I thought. I was predicted a 6, but my maths teacher once said that she thought I could get an 8.

I haven't got my papers back yet so i don't know which i got wrong but all my class did the 5-7 and were preidicted a 6 and got a 7 :cheer:
I'm in top set and loads of people seem to have got higher than me, and there's bullies in set 2, so fingers crossed I've done well enough to stay in that set.
I'm dreading my English results.

I always dread my results! I remember last year in SATS, i thought i did really rubbish in all of them and thought i failed them all but it turned out i did really good because i got all my target levels that i had to get. :)

i cant remember worrying about sats really, cos they dont really mean anything in the long term, but i did kind of dread my gcse results, but they turned out to be ok

No I didn't struggle on any of it, I just usually think I've done badly if I hesitate before I start writing. Maths is said to be my best subject though.

its good to hesitate cos then you think about the question rather than just rushing into it! :)

Hi,
I got; Maths - 8; Science - 7; English - 7.
Well done everyone, you all did really well.
:eek: I am a wreck in exams, usually I just end up diving straight into it. On maths papers I never have enough time to finish because I end up spending longer than I should on questions because I am so paranoid that I've made a stupid mistake or haven't shown my working out properly. Speaking of which, I HATE showing it! Sometimes you work things out mentally but then you have to waste precious time writing down your damn workings out! And like I said I am very neurotic about these things, so I have like every little gap filled to make sure it's enough LOL. And I'm too stubborn to leave a question if I can't remember how to do it (which is so frustrating), so I end up wasting time on that too.
With English, I end up writing loads too. In the Shakespeare paper, where we had to compare the two scenes, I had loads of stuff about the first scene, but then I ran out of time so I had hardly anything about the second one LOL. :rolleyes: But luckily the person collecting it up was very understanding, and waited patiently while I scribbled down the end of my sentence. It probably didn't even make sense. If I look around in exams everyone else is finished with like half an hour to go and I'm still frantically scribbling away.

Lol, you make me blush..
I'm not a genius! :rolleyes:
I saw my name then and I thought 'what the..?' lol.
As soon as I saw the Samantha Nixon the other day I knew it must have been you. And then I saw 'What time is it..?' and the Sam Nixon/Phil Hunter banner and I thought it had to be. So I checked your profile and when it said how many animals you had I thought.. well, nobody else is gonna have that many animals. :D And of course it said you were a twin.. :)
