Using SATs in GCSE prediction

We did our SATs 5 years ago and I came to this country in yr6 and took those exams with little knowledge but as years pass by my understanding has developed and I have been predicted mostly 9s as of this moment. However, I am afraid that my SATs performance would impact my GCSE grades.

On the website it says they will use "prior attaintment" - So I am quite worried, I would be grateful if you could message as soon as possible.

by prior attainment, i think they mean how you did in topic tests/mocks/your work ethic etc.
They won't (or at least shouldn't) look at your SATs, don't worry :smile:

if you are predicted high grades like you say, and provided you have been attaining these sorts of grades recently, then SATs should have very little weighting in your grades :smile:
