SATs: Standard Assesment Tests<br>Taken in:<br>Keystage 1 (Year 2 - 6/7 years old)<br>Keystage 2 (Year 5 - 9/10 years old)<br>Keystage 3 (Year 9 - 13/14 years old)<br><br>Then there's GCSEs:<br>Taken in Year 11 (15/16 years old)<br><br>Then AS levels<br>Taken in Year 12 (Lower VI most places) (16/17)<br><br>Then A levels<br>Taken in Year 13 (Upper VI most places) (17/18)<br><br>Then you're on to Uni.<br><br>Or instead of AS and A levels you can go to a college, and there's NVQs and BTECs and all sorts that I don't really get, except NVQs (National Vocational Qualification) are in practical things like plumbing and car maintainance and bus driving, and there are some people say they stand for "Not Very Qualified")
The end is nigh!

I remember the Iowa tests, I usually got in the low 90s/high 80s for all of the categories, which I find either suspicous or sad because I'm not that much smarter than normal people.
By the power of greyskull, I'm not sure I believe that.

I just had the SAT (other than TAAS or what ever the standardized Texas test is called), and they lost one in the mail! That was because it was at the time anthrax was going through it thought.
