SATS

Post by 2littleboys »

Hi everyone

Im still trying to navigate my way around this site so apologies if I have posted in the wrong place.

My son told me (this morning!) that he is doing his sats this week.

Does anyone know if
a)he should have revised for these (if so he hasn't)
b)the results have any bearing on his 11+ and
c) is there a particular score he should get for his SATS which might indicate whether or not he will/could pass the 11+

Thank you for your help.

Just to re-iterate my son is in year 4 at a Bucks primary state school.

A) no
B) no - SATS are designed to test what they have been taught, 11plus is supposed to be more of an IQ test ( :lol: :lol: ). In Bucks it is mainly verbal reasoning. The SATS test reading, writing, maths etc.
C) I wouldn't have thought So, at this stage, but here are others ho know better than me who will be along soon....

The only relevance of the SATS to the 11+ in Bucks is if you need to go to appeal, in which case they can form part of your academic evidence. In that case, you may well want him to do well...
