Yet another SATS cock-up ! What the ruddy hell is up with the Ministry of Education ?

Mickey, they are trying to improve standards. If they give out the answers, more children will reach the required grade. Job done. :-)

I don't know how they could have made the same mistake again. Seems ridiculous.

You don't fatten the pig by weighing it more often. (Sorry, I know it's a cliche, but it's true).
Good point, Tilly.

It's not a mistake, it is someone (or a group) of people who are politically motivated in as much as they are against the sats.

The culprit(s) need to be hunted down and fired. But they wont because civil servants, unlike the rest of us mere mortals, have a job for life.

[ummmm]

I was going to say sabotage...

[mikey4444]

ymb....you may very well be right....hadn't really thought of that.

[Prudie]

It's farcical. Ymb your theory may be correct but I take serious issue with your comment that civil servants have a job for life. Unless you are still living in the 1970s that hasn't been true for years. Thousands and thousands of civil servants have been made redundant.
Sorry don't mean to go off topic but that remark kind of brings into question the rest of your theory.

If this is some kind of sabotage, it well be a Pearson employee, as they are tasked with compiling these tests.
