Yes but you will have to wait until next summer, so you could potentially waste of a year of your life.  Also, some coursework may have to be re-done.  Better to pass them first time round!

In the UK we don't do the SATs that you sit in the USA. In year 9 (age 13/14), 6(age 10/11) and more recently 2 (age 6/7) we have something called SATs (pronouced as a word rather than the individual letters) but they test the general level in Maths, English and Science, usually to see how far the child is in line with the national average. \nThe real education begins in years 10-11 (age 14-16) where you study for your GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education previously known as O Levels). Depending on your institute you generally get to choose which subjects you wish to study and schools tend to make English, Maths and Science compulsary, others may include P.E or a language. The grades are from A* - G (pass) and U (ungraded meaning fail), though the accepted pass grades will be grades A* - C.\nPrior to age 16, education is compulsary but post-16 education is optional and can go into various branches depending on the individual. One route is A(dvanced) Levels (or GCE) where you can do a maximum of 5 they say but if its for applying to university for a undergraduate degree (BA/BSc) they won't ask for more than 3 A level grades, where the grades range from A - E. Now however some university asked for Ucas points rather than grades which can make it easier to some extend as its the minimum points they require for entry which can be made up of a really low grade in one subject but high in another. So previously grades BBB was required but the new points sytem requires 300 which can be achieved by attaining grades ABC. These take 2 years to complete and made up of 6 units or can be taken as Intensive A Level whereby its completed in 1 year. \nA Level tends to be considered more academic as its more exam based. If someone prefers a more vocational route they could do GNVQ(General National Vocational Qualification) / AVCE (Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education) instead as its more coursework based rather than exam. This is a little complicating. \nFirst you have Part One Award GNVQ made up 3 units, and equivalent to an AS Level or 1 GCSE. Then you have the Full Award GNVQ made up 6 units equivalent to an A Level or 2 GCSEs. Both can be taken at a foundation or intermediate level. Finally you have AVCE which is 12 units, usually taken over 2 years, and equivalent to 2 A Levels. I actually did the full-award GNVQ in ICT alongside my GCSEs because my school offered it in replacement of the half GCSE it had the previous years. It was grade on the scale of, Distinction (A), Merit (B), Pass (C) and Fail (U). Some universities accept these as qualifying grades for entry onto the degree. Other universities prefer the academic route but it really depends on your chosen path. \nBoth A Levels and AVCEs are generally undertaken the two years after completing secondary education. Of course if someone wasn't following the traditional route they may of course take it after a gap or after doing something completly different. Of course ifsomeone wasn't going to university they may for example do some work-related study such as a Modern Apprenticeship or simply go straight into work. Others follow whatis best for their chosen career, for example, someone wanting to do childcare may do a CACHE Diploma (Council for Award in Childcare and Education) instead or do a BTEC National Diploma in Business/Science, again both more vocational. \nIf I'm correct, high school in the USA is the equivalent for education up to 18 in the UK, which is secondary education pre-16 and further education (College/6th Form) pre-18.\nAfter which we have university (is it college for you?) degrees such as BSc (Bachelor of Science) and BA (Bachelor of Arts) known as the First Degree/Graduate. This usually takes 3 years full-time, 4 years sandwich (inc. 1 year work) or part-time. These are graded 1st Class, 2:1 (Upper 2nd), 2:2 (Lower 2nd), 3rd, Pass and Fail respectively.\nAfter that you can do a Postgraduate (second degree) followed by the Ph

It's not really a good idea to move kids when they are studying. Different schools have different exam boards: AQA, for example. You'll need to ring the school which you plan to move to and explain the situation. By rights, they can call the exam board and get them to agree for her to sit her exams at their school. However, if it's a different syllabus then it'll mean sitting the gcses in a separate room . Also the revision and coursework may cause some problems if the subjects are different. Best ring and see.

The best place to look is probably the official exam board website. I don't know which board you're with, so here are some links to the GCSE past paper section of a few of the most common ones:\n\nAQA:  http://www.aqa.org.uk/admin/qp-ms_gcse.html\nOCR:  http://www.ocr.org.uk/publications/publications_pastpapers.html#s0\nEdexcel:  Seem to have started charging for their past papers, which is a bit unfair, but there are some specimen papers available here if you click on the subject:  http://www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/gcse/ \n\nAll of these are free downloads of PDF documents, and the mark schemes are available here too. Alternatively, you could try asking your teachers - schools will have past papers dating back much further than this, and you may well be able to borrow papers to photocopy or something. Good luck!

Any testing is good I feel.  i was not good at tests but maybe if i got them regular in primary school I may have not been too concerned about them.\n\nI did not like secondary school, it was a waste of time.  If you want your child to have a good education then get a tutor or send them to a private school.\n\nWhy oh why did I get country dancing, basketball, indoor hockey for Physical Education in Glasgow.  Nobody in the history of the school has ever became a professional at any of these disciplines.\n\nIn addition music class.  No professional musicians either.  We did have a couple of footballers.  One of which Andy Gray however when I was there, the teachers had a pay dispute and no school team cos they didn't get paid enough overtime. \n\nI wonder if at their interview they made that clear to the panel the the children's development meant nothing when money was involved.

It's called a BOG waiver. Ask at your school.

not if you've got the grades necessary and done your homework on which uni you want to go to.

See the subject you failed in and work on it .... you can always go back for that same year again ,, but if you think that those subjects were not what you wanted .. you should change your major and take the credits of the subjects you already took.... Failing is not a big deal because FAILURE IS A STEP TO SUCCESS but GIVING UP IS A STEP TO FAILURE... so go ahead and repeat the same year or change your major to the year you want.

well you can go at any age but your failing grades will not let you qulify to take them

Is this a new program in your school district? Regardless, it seems to me that if you pass a course for high school credit, especially with an A or B, you shouldn't have to repeat it once you reach high school.\n\nIs your brother the jealous type? If so, I wouldn't put too much stake in what he said. Don't let him nor anyone else hold you back from trying out Algebra II as a HS freshman.\n\nMore power to you! \n\nI'm envious because my school system (8th grade class of 1980!) offered only general math up through 8th grade, though I and a few others were allowed a chance to complete Algebra I in the first semester and Geometry in the second semester as freshmen.\n\n\n\nBut to repeat:\n\nDO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE HOLD YOU BACK.

NO, I am very sorry you cannot. Those opportunities are given to you while you are taking the test. Imagine what would happen if it was allowed afterwards. :D

In the UK, university requirements dictate that students must have 13 years of school plus A-levels exams. This is why students from Canadian or US universities (who graduate high school after 12 years) who transfer to UK universities are received as year 1 students (Year 2 under certain circumstances). The best thing to do in this situation is to contact the admissions office at the university and ask for more information about transfer requirements. \nGood luck!

Take it again, it doesn't matter that you failed twice I failed twice also and passed on the third attempt.... Third time luck so they say... I knew I'd fail the first one as I took it early after about 4 lesson on purpose as I'm not very confident in exams or tests I get very nervous....\n\nOn the second attempt I failed due to the instructor being a very stricked instructor and a very dificult examiner.... \n\nOn the third attempt I thought I'd failed as I made an error early and then relaxed because I thought I'd failed and when I got back I answered the questions and he told me I'd passed.... \n\nSo you never know.... I took mine in the UK so as far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter where you take your test or how many times you take it as long as you learn by the last mistake of where you went wrong then it'll help towards your next attempt....\n\nFingers crossed you'll get through the next one.... Good luck....

I doubt that the school would be able to tell you what exam boards they were using for each subject in 1990.  Most of the Heads of Department would have since moved on.  Moreover, the exam boards probably no longer exist, since they were reorganised in the mid-1990s!\n\nI suggest that you phone one exam board and discuss the issue with them.  I suggest you start with OCR because they are the most efficient at deadling with telephone enquiries (get their number from www.ocr.org.uk).  They would be able to tell you if anyone still holds your GCSE results.\n\nIf the data is no longer held, I think you would then be free to make up your own GCSE results!
