English or math?

SATs are broken into separate "English" and "Math" scores. List a Cellarite, and predict whether they scored higher in English or Math. I'll start another thread where we can post the answers.

you're weird, Spexxvet.

I can't remember my scores, but I can for sure tell which one was higher.

Hmm. They've introduced SAT tests for our youngsters which they take at various times through their education (I think they take them two or three times at different levels) but our main 'High school' exams are the GCSEs.

I was never very good at maths. I took my maths O'level the year before the system changed to GCSEs. That meant I took it a year early. Our maths teacher didn't want us to be the guinea pig year so persuaded us to do two years' work in one and sit o'levels instead. I passed but only got a C grade (reasonable pass)

English I got A grades in Lit and Lang.

I'm totally not a math dude. I mainly use an "8-based" system.
