In Britain and the UK the week beginning Monday 13th of May 2013 to Thursday 16th of May 2013 is S.A.T.S week! This is when children in Year 6 ( children aged 10 or 11) which is the highest class in primary school take some tests to show off their knowledge.These consist of the usual 5 tests.A reading comprehension test ( where you read a text and answer questions about it )50 MARKS . 3 maths papers a mental maths paper ( where you have 20 questions that are played back on a CD and you have 5/10/15 seconds to answer them) 20 MARKS .Maths paper A where you have 40 MARKS and 45 mins with 1/2/3 marks per question.Maths paper B where you still have 45 mins and 40 MARKS but you are allowed to use a calculator. Maths tests are marked out of a total 100 MARKS .You also have a spelling , grammer and punctuation test where you do what it says on the tin .You usualy do level 3-5 tests but some children do level 6 tests extra.
I am doing these and level 6 reading and maths .Wish me luck =)
