1998

More SATS? How often did they do these things?

This time around Dave was clued in, he knew the score. The maximum result on the standard tests would be a 7. Additional tests would then be provided to try to achieve an 8. You needed to get a 7 on the normal tests then pass the extra to get the 8. Sorted.

Maths... do u really need to ask? It was a shame it only went up to 8.
Science... 7 ... ish... probably... maybe 8
English.

English. The English SATS results began Dave's life long hatred of Shakesphere. Dave passed the additional test, he answered well enough to get an 8. And on the standard tests he achieved the 7... except for the Shakespeare part.

It isn't even English!!!! Grrr!!!!

Due to the poor results in Shakespeare, Dave failed to achieve the 7 required to get his 8, and thus ended up with a lowly 6. Two grades lost because Shakespeare can't write properly. Darn.

And, since the SATS mattered to LC, the results saw Dave banished from the top set for English. He was dropped down to set 2, where he would live out the remaining College years.

In terms of computer games, Dave was getting too old to spend all day playing games. He was 14 now, it just didn't thrill him like it used to. It was time to grow up, study harder, experiment with alchohol, meet girls and...

... hold on... OH MY GOD!!!!

ZELDA IN 3D?!?!?!?!

HOLY SH*T!!! Ocarina of Time was FANTASTIC!!

Fudge it, plenty of time to get alcohol poisoning later. Bring on Zelda.
