Can someone explain a few questions about SATS please?
Can someone please explain the following to me please;
Are KS2 Sats based on work the children have done in Year 6 only (i.e from Sept) or is it from Year 5 as well?
Are the test topics generally the same year after year?
Is it true that above roughly 65% is a level 5?
Thank you!

It will be based on the whole of KS2. Not all schools teach topics in the same order. For example, schools with mixed age classes may follow a 2 year rolling program in years 5 and 6. In any case, year 6 work should build upon previous years.
Topics vary within the confines of the curiculum.
Level thresholds vary from year to year. In 2007 the minimum for level 5 was 72.5% in science, 79% in maths and 70% (overall) in English.
