Y6 SATS - Is it possible to achieve 3 scores of 120 ?

[namechangeforanonymity]

Apparently someone at dc's school did but the most likely candidate says it wasn't them.

I'm thinking there's been some tall stories told via kids on xbox tonight !

It’s possible. Unlikely but certainly possible.

Unlikely isn’t what I mean. Unusual is better.

DD got 2/3, couple of marks off in Maths. So I guess it is possible.

Do you think they meant CATS scores rather then SATS scores.

Yes, it's possible.

I'd be encouraging the kids not to gossip about their scores tbh.

Perfectly possible. I work in a comprehensive school and we had a couple last year. I haven't looked at this year's too closely yet, but I imagine in selective secondaries there are more than a few.

Yes. DD did. She hasn't told anybody though.

Yes it's definitely possible

Yes. Definitely know of at least two this year.

I'd think so. Ds came very close to this.

I had 2 in my class last year, one this year. None of them are gifted, just bright and have worked hard and applied themselves well (and stay calm in test situations!).

Had a year 4 pupil just take them all this week and he has achieved the same. He certainly is gifted though 😂

Dd's come close but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if one of her classmates racks up a perfect score.

My DD has 2, just missed it on reading but we've only discussed/ celebrated with family. It's not been discussed between the children. It helps that they were handed out on the way out today.

DD got 2 120s and one slightly less. She isn't on any top tables at school and I imagine a fair few in her class will have got all 120s. Her school didn't really make much of a deal of SATs- was all very low key and we've been given very little context about their scores so don't really have a clue what 120 was.

DS was 1 mark off 120 for maths and reading, and 3 marks off for spag, so very nearly did.

This is exactly why our school doesn’t give out the scores. Just working at, not working at or exceeding

Huh? That's illegal. They have to give out the scores.
The teacher assessment apart from in writing can only be 'working at', (or below) not exceeding.

Was just discussing this on another thread. They don’t give out scores at all. Same with DD last year

Or year before even

No scores! This is what we are given

DD got 2 out of 3, last one slightly below, and goes to a London grammar, she said many of the girls there got 120 in all 3 so yes its possible.

She actually told me all the girls got 3x120 but is prone to exaggeration - also telling me she was the worst in everything but just got her scores in and she's above the grammar average (only by 2 percentage points per subject but the average grade is between A and A*) and way above in maths and science.

Out of our 60, 2 got 3 x 120. Neither of them a surprise - both have got into super selectives and have been extremely studious and academic for their entire primary careers.
Quite a few more got 2 x 120 and then a third in the high teens.

The reading paper was easier than last year’s, so quite a few of mine missed the 120 score, even though they only dropped a very few marks out of 50.

A perfect score is totally possible. It definitely doesn't imply the person has exceptional ability just that they're bright and either did a lot of preparation (most don't for Sat's as there's no benefit to the child) or are just very careful when answering exam questions..

It's certainly possible. DS isn't the brightest in his class but he did well.
I wouldn't put it past a couple of his friends to have 3 x 120 scores.
