[edit] What is the point of SAT's?
What is the relevance of taking SAT's it tells you your progress I think but it still seems rather pointless. What would be the arguments for keeping the SAT's against those that wan't to rid our children of them? SAT's can only be bad and they can severley hurt the children's confidence it is also very demorilising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.54.38.231 (talk) 07:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

- We always decided it stood for Silly Assessment Tests, because they are so pointless. I know that CATs are Cognitive Assessment Tests, so it is probably *something* Assessment Tests. Cheesypot (talk) 08:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Complete Update Feb 2008
I have completely overhauled this article. I have tried to give references for everything, but now the whole thing looks very wordy. Some images would probably be good, but not sure where we'd stand on that. Tafkam (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism section
I think we need a good criticism section with cited criticisms because these have to be the most controversial tests in the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.101.18 (talk) 01:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
