Just a few days ago, my mum and I found out that the United States have completely got rid of all subject SATs! The American route is something we’d been considering for me as an alternative to GCSEs and A-Levels, so this news is quite interesting for me. Now, if I wanted to go the US route, I’d have to take Advanced Placement (AP) exams instead, similar exams which currently cost over £800 each and only seem to be available in Leicester! We’re hoping that because SATs have been scrapped, AP exams might become more widely available and affordable in the UK. Still, it wouldn’t have affected me for another few years at least. I guess we’ll have to just wait and see what happens!
