I got a 5 in English at year 6, In year nine, I also got a 5.

Mainly because I wrote about the wrong thing in the exam.

Don't worry, I got an A at GCSE :) though I wish I'd taken it to A level now :(

I got a 5 in English in year 6, and then again in year 9. While it's possible I didn't gain any English skills between those years...
Having said that, in my experience, English exams are marked by random number generators.

I think it's more a way of measuring how able kids are, in level of intelligence, not so much the complexity of the questions asked? Or at least that's how I'd tackle it.

Personally, I had a good laugh at the expense anyone getting a 5 back when I was in Year 9, though I'll admit to only getting 5-5-4 when I was 11...

And B does mean different things; hell, at GCSE it's probably easier to get on different tiers.

I don't quite understand that either.

If you get a five you get a five, surely? It means the same thing no matter what test you get it from. The SATs are structured such that you should go up two every three years.

Yr 3 avg mark: 2
Yr 6 avg mark: 4
Yr 9 avg mark: 6

So if a kid in year 6 gets a 5 on his paper, and kid in year 9 gets a five on theirs, they're on the same level according to the SATs system.

It's not like a B which means different things on different papers.

I doubt that, I very nearly got a Level 8 in my year 9 sats for English, if teachers ever say that they're just trying to make you feel better about yourself. Level 5 is very bad, Level 6 is just below average, sorry if i'm bursting your bubble, and they're at year 9 s.a.t. level.

I better do well in my English GCSE, I got 89% in the mocks.

In my day all we had were mock O'Levels the year before we took the real ones. Then if we failed the real ones we either stayed behind another year for resits or joined the Army.

The Deathly Harrows? Well, I've been told about the "Leaked Ending", but I really couldn't care less.

Extra A-Levels? Yes please, I'm not looking forward to results day at all! SATs are largely Mickey Mouse as far as I'm concered, although you've got to have ome sort of performance monitoring prior to GCSE, I'd reckon. And the detail of the results posted here? Jeez, I got 7-7-7, I think, and that's all I remember!

That makes much more sense. I wish I had 6 A levels :(

I could have that wrong actually.

It may well be an extra year of A Levels they get, which would make more sense, as six A Level qualifications would be quite a weapon for Uni applications.
