Why are you so interested?

But on average most people in our school got level EPs, level 8s and level 7s in maths, all level 7s and above in English...or most and in science it varied some got level 5 - 3 in my class and were told to consider leaving the school as they may not 'pass' their GCSEs in Science ironically one of them who got a 5 in science got an 8 in maths and english...

I swear ep's and level 8 in science and english were cancelled out last year. Most people in my year hit the highest now possible level

english 7
maths 8
science 7

I think it would be hard to generalise because some grammar schools obviously have less clever children attending than others.

Im sure that there were 8s, but you had to do a different paper I think.

You can get an 8 on the maths paper without doing any extra papers (the extension paper is just in place to allow students to achieve 'EP').

However, English and Science require an extra paper to get above a 7, if my memory serves me correctly.

I never actually did SATS. Are they something you can revise for or are they like intelligence tests?

They're in much the same style as GCSEs.

CAT tests however do measure intelligence (in three[?] disciplines).

It helps the government dish out money according to 'value added' scores.

The government use them to measure the success of your school, in comparison to others.

Also, schools use them internally to set you for GCSE.

I dont value them at all and either do private schools. I dont even value GCSE's. All they prove is you can repeat bullet points parrot fashion.
