 * __What Is My Target Level?__**

Your Target Level is based on the results you achieved in your KS2 SATs exams when you were in Year 6.It will tell us what you are expected to achieve in the next SATs Exams when you are in Year 9. It is usually TWO levels above the level that you acieved in your KS2 SATs exam in Year 6.


 * __So....?__**

It's not just your English teacher that needs to know what your Target Level is. You do too! Why? If you know what level you are expected to achieve in your Year 9 SATs exams, you can find out whether you are currently on track to achieve that level. If your Predicted Level and your Target Level do not match, you can do something about it and ask your teacher what you need to do to get the level you should get.


 * __What's A Good Level Then?__**

If you achieve a Level 5 in your SATs exams during Year 9, you are far more likely to get a C grade or above at GCSE when you are Year 11 AND that's not just in English - English has an effect on many other subjects - you read and write in all of them! Therefore, achieving a Level 5 or above is important! It could be the key to a better GCSE grade, college, university, your future! Whatever you choose to do you need a 'C' grade or above at GCSE!


 * __So How Can I Get At Least a Level 5 then?__**

Ask your teacher how you can improve your skills in the different areas of the subject. When you know what the examiner wants, practise, practise, practise! Knowing what makes a Level 5 is important and the minimum expectation for pupils in KS3. So check the KS3 Levels below!
