No for them they have to stay at school until they're 18. And then they take their SATS when they're in their last year of school (17/18) and then they're used to go straight to Uni. They don't have colleges/6th form like we do because they have to stay until they're 18.

Cut to the chase, A-Levels are better.

When I took it, they had not implemented the revised SAT system...so I got something like a 1190 ? Sadly for me, art was not on the sat.

No, most people take SATs at 16, if you take them at 18 then you must have gotten left back or something. I won't be 18 until October of my Freshman year of College so

Sounds like an equivalent to GCSEs then, yep - if at 16. We do exams on all subjects (9/10/11) and are awarded per subject.

Then what do you do in the final years of High School at the age of 17/18?

I thought you guys used them as the "test to determine if you get into Uni"

You continue school.  The SATs are not the end-all be-all of college admisions.  They are important, but colleges do realize just how useless they really are.

275 isn't possible, as the score range for each of the 3 sections is 200. 2750 isn't possible either, as the maximum score is 2400.

And if you got an 11.5 on your IQ test, you wouldn't be able to post here. The threshold for mental retardation is a 70. I think you'd probably be dead, actually.

Oh - 2120 last year, 213 (equals 2130) on the PSAT this year.

Damn everyone on BF2s is smart!  I've been taking practice tests.. and I am estimating that i will get anywhere from 1700 to 2000.  I got a 26 on my ACT.  I took the Math Level 1 subject test in May, and i got a 730 which I'm very happy with.  Don't take the SAT for the first time till June.
