Red Triangle student Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I live in England. I got my S.A.T.s results the other week. They are as follows: English: Level 7 Maths: Level 6 Science: Level 6 In our country we base our results on Levels ( Where as 7 is higher than one) 7 is the highest level you can receive for English and Science, it goes up to 8 in Maths. Level 5 is a pass. Anything Below is a fail. P.S. I am happy with my results and am pleased to say I got the highest mark in the year(86) For English! "To be elated at success, and dissappointed at defeat, is to be the child of Circumstances." I wish I followed that rule! ^^ I hate Losing!

monkeygirl Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Congrats on the great English score!! SAT's also come in subject tests, known as SAT II's...I took the Writing and Chemistry ones and got 750 and 650, respectively...not so hot on the chem, but deliriously happy with the writing. I'm also pleased that I don't have to take the new SAT...my graduating class just misses out on that. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

GrrrArg Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I guess SAT's are somewhat equivilent to A-Levels? Don't even get me started on mine, they were either: Computing C Business Studies B History C OR Computing C Business Studies B History A!!! I had mega arguements with the exam board,basically my teacher told me to expect an A for my history coursework, it came back a U (menaing ungraded, my name on the paper would get a friggin U). The exam board flat refuse to remark history coursework. The difference between the marks would have been enough to boost my overall history score from a C to an A. Ah well, one gap year later im not so bothered. Ill give uni a bash see what its like. If I like it I like, if I don't, I now know there is a hell of a lot more to life. Nearly time to go, looking forward to having some fun. Mainly based around alcohol and holding hands with girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returning_wave Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 thats pretty harsh, GrrrArg. When I did the english version i got english 8 maths 8 science 8 One of my friends got two EP levels (exceptional performance). Ours stand for 'Standardised Achievement Tests and are taken at ages 6, 11 and 14. They count for nothing and are a waste of time not that im bitter congrats on your high US-SATs scores!

DLopez Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 (edited) Quick question to the Brits. Why do you pluralize math as "Maths"? Isn't Math both singular and plural, you know, like one deer, two deer. Or when Neil Armstrong said from the moon, "That's one small step for man..." when he should have said "That's one small step for a man...", thereby changing the entire meaning of his statement making it redundant: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". ("Man" is synonymous for mankind, thus plural) I should say, you Englishes are funny with your English. Hehe!

DLopez Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Yep! You got me there! Actually, now that I thought about it a little more, I guess Math is really just an abbreviation for Mathematics, which is plural. Guess I'll follow the Brits and start calling it "Maths" too! All my fellow engineer co-workers may look at me funny, but hey, all the Englishes are doing it! DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.
