DC1 is currently having 1hr per week tuition for an entrance exam for a selective school (not a GS area so competition huge and it'll probably come down to tiny percentages). Apparently, people also pay for tuition for SATs in yr 6. Why?
I can understand for a selective school as there is a big knock on effect from that - it can literally decide the next 5-7 years of their life. But, I thought SATs were to measure the school and the teaching? Don't secondary schools do their on tests at the beginning of yr7?
I just think I'm missing something - why is the score my DC gets in the SATs important to my DC ?
