So are you doing exams at the moment? I know that SATs are on at the moment in the UK [ they are exams in Maths, English and Science tested in Year 2, Year 6 and Year 9, I think  ]
Everyone says students in England are over-tested. I think so. We have, SATs, Assements at the end of each term, CATs [sort of like an IQ test, some schools do it upon entering to set you into ability order.] Some schools have entrance exams [which aren't called entrance exams, they sort of try to cover it up by saying that it's to 'assess your level' but really it's just sort of 'are you good enough.'] GCSEs are pretty important, then AS Levels and A Levels. The university stuff All very boring I know. |
Oh my...I am sorry you have go through that...I hated SATs because they really don't test anything except can you spit back information. All it takes is memorizing the practice test and you have it. Well I am sorry to hear that those test are still around because they showed me nothing except for an high IQ which I already know.
Well do your best anyways, even if you don't like it cause colleges will look at it.
