Well I used to have to do end of year exams to determine what set I would go in the next year (plus my progress in the year). Lasts year's exams (year 10) were really to determine the tiers of papers I would take like Higher or Intermediate or Foundation etc. Really because I kept the same sets and teachers for two years (10 to 11). Like a two year course. Of course, now in year 11, i'm doing my GCSE's.
We did end of year 10 exams as well. I think one of the main reasons was to get us used to the exams at the end of the year to prepare for the real thing. It was also to help decide tiers and stuff.
