Indeed, but the way the teachers rant about them you'd think they were the test todecide whether we were going to be executed or not.
(Actually, this is quite logical. SATS are for testing the Teachers, not the students, ergo the teacher's waste a term of your time preparing you for a bunch of tests which nobody ever really cares about)
Next year, I've got;
Compulsory
English (lang+lit), Maths (not AS level until AS sadly, they don't let you do it early here), CR short, Triple Science.
Options
IT (mostly in my spare time and short IT lessons), History, Classics, French and Geography.
