Key Stage 2 practice SATS paper for 2006

[littlelegsmum]

I have just found a practice SATS paper in DDs messy bedroom!!

The Reading paper was called "Heart Beat"

DD answered upto, and including Number 23b, which means she would be able to gain a maximum score of 37. However, in total the maximum score she could gain would be 50.

DD got 17 right, but didn't get any of the ones that she'd have to 'read between the lines' correct.

Would aybody be able to tell me what level this would get her please?

So were the 17 that she got right one mark questions?

She got:

3 two mark q's right (one was a 2 out of 3 right)

All the rest were one mark each

So, assuming she got 20/50, I think she just scrapes a 4c.

If she is struggling to get the 2/3 mark ones correct I 'd say thats a 3a/4c

Thanks for your help. The teacher has market it and she got 17 right.

Sorry, not 17 right, 17 marks!

17/50 would be 3a then.

Thanks Iam - I think it could of been worse as a few of the answers she's got right did have the wrong answer crossed out next to it. I'll ask her what changed her mind.

I'm getting impatient waiting for SATS results now

Think they go to schools on about the 9th July; ours doesnt give them to parents until a couple of days before the end of term.

Is that so us parents can't question things or am I being cynical?!

It's def so that parents can't hassle the teachers.

Good schools hand out SAT results as soon as thy get them - bad schools hand them out the very end of term. :) :(

In that case I'll get dd's on the last day

Results will be sent to school on Tuesday 10 July and threshold tables published the same day. Schools can report results immediately or in the annual school report. We generally tell our pupils verbally once we have checked the papers for any errors and calculated the sub levels then add these results to the annual reports as written confirmation.

Just asked dd why she changed some answers and she said she got help with the 3 mark question. So you can realistically knock 2 marks off, at least!

Would that change the level at all?

IndigoBell Think your comment is a bit unfair, they tie in with reports going out aswell.

Thanks snowball . . I don't have any faith in the school so am hoping everything has been marked externally. They've already inflated dd levels this year!

For the 2006 paper, Level 3 covers from 10 to 17 marks so we would have 10-12 as 3c, 13-15 as 3B and 16-17 as 3A.

Thanks snowball. Thats cleared it up for me :)
