| Reference: SATs in the UK (as distinct from the US) Reference information: Why are they called 'Sats'? Officially they aren't - though that has become the almost universal name for them. In 1991 the Conservatives had a trial run of Standard Assessment Tasks (hence the acronym "Sats") for six and seven-year-olds in infant schools across England and Wales. Originally they were practical "tasks" rather than pencil-and-paper tests. In science, for example, groups had to experiment with rocks, feathers, and plastic to see whether they would float or sink in water. The then education secretary, Kenneth Clarke, changed them to written tests which all pupils could take simultaneously. So national curriculum testing was born, but the old acronym stuck. Not to be confused with the totally different SATs (pronounced as initials - "S-A-T" - rather than as a word) used in the US for assessing people's college potential. Dating from 1926 and named at various times Scholastic Achievement Tests, Scholastic Assessment Tests and Scholastic Aptitude Tests, they are a registered trade mark of the non-profit College Board association. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/2994018.stm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-06-09 01:07:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The equivalent in Chile is the SIMCE, which includes: Evaluaciones a cargo del SIMCE Pruebas nacionales SIMCE Evalúa Lenguaje, Matemática y Ciencias (Naturales y Sociales) en alumnos y alumnas de 4° Básico, 8° Básico y 2° Medio.
