Could somone clarify what the SATs are? It's presumably an exam that is referred to regularly on "friends", but as I'm form UK, I'm unsure what they are. are they the american equivilent to GCSEs?
Also, in 921, "the one at the fertility clinic", Monica and Janice both say " It's not ok to do it in a doctor's office but it is ok to do it in a parked car behind a Taco Bell?" What is a Taco Bell? similarly, what is "a Wendy's"?
Thank you!!

SAT refers to the Scholastic Assessment Test. It's used for college admissions to tests students in English and Math. Some schools accept the ACT exams, which covers more subjects than just verbal and math, but most universities prefer SAT scores instead. I'm not sure what the GCSE's are, os I can't compare.
Taco Bell is a mexican fast food place and Wendy's is a burger fast food place like McDonadl's. Both are pretty gross IMO. ;)

I always thought it was an acronym for Scholastic Aptitude Test, but I see both versions on the web quite extensively.

We do SAT's here. I did them when I was 14, and now they come as early as about 8, then 11 then 14.
Wow! I didn't take my ACT's until I was 16 or 17! I guess I was behind! Cindy
Wow - I took the ACTs and SATs both in my junior year in high school, which then I was um, almost 16, but as I was in school a year early, all my friends took them when they were 17... I have yet to hear of SATs that are done at that early of an age, when I was teaching, the test the 11 year olds took was the 4th grade assesment tests (which are national, I believe), but certainly were not SATs...

My daughter took the SAT when she was 13 (7th grade) but that was only offered to some kids who were doing well in school. She then took it again when she was a junior.
Yes so did I, but they're clearly not the same - Ross, for example got 1250 on his, whereas with the English ones, they are Levels - different for each subject. Plus we say sats (phonetically) as opposed to S.A.T.s (acronymically) "Rach" wrote in message news:[email]...

They're different SATs, ours aren't as big a deal as the ones in the US are - their only uses are to assess how well the school's doing and (for the ones at age 14) to decide what set you go into for your GCSEs in core subjects (ie maths, English, science).
