I hated SATs, they put too much pressure on you when you're only a wee child...

My primary school was incredibly bitchy, and so I didn't really understand what a 'friend' was or how you behave with them until about year 9. Primary school was not a good time for me.

I never really bothered about those SATs. Our teacher tried to make us do loads of w*rk, and I did some of it...
But yeah, SATs should be stopped. They serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever and only make for more pressure and paperw*rk for all concerned.

¦M¦

My year six SATs were a waste of time. We got sat own and told when we finished we could go out to playtime. It was the first year and noone gave a toss!

All SATs are a waste of time...

¦M¦

SATs? i never got stressed about those.....nor GCSEs for that matter

Me neither. Worked for long enough. Decided to work for my A-levels though, and got cr*p results. (though I got in, so that's okay). Maybe I shouldn't have bothered.

what did you get?

I never worried much about my GCSE's either. I still don't understand it, in french gcse, I put little effort into my work and didn't revise at all and I still got an A...
I only really revised for my maths and science, got a B in maths and a C in all 3 sciences...

I didn't do any revision for any of my exams either - I found it too boring.
I only got to do 2 sciences for GCSE - "Science" and "Science". Imaginative names, huh!

<BB<

I got to do Science and Science as well.

¦M¦

Yeah, I did double science too. No work, A*, highest girls' mark. A-level, work arse off, don't understand a word, D. I mean, really!

I got stuck doing a GSCE in Biology, which was fun due to the fact that I pass out at the sight of blood and gore, Chemistry, that i didn't understand a word of, and Physics, that involved explaining what is happening as you throw a ball across the room....hmm.
...and I got a c in all 3!

Science was too much of a thinky subject for me anyway, I prefer doing other than thinking about doing...

i did double award science GCSE last year (a year early) and got BB. cos i'd already done the GCSE i did AS this year and got a C. which i'm quite impressed at cos i did no revision
