SAT Moderation - How does it work?

Does anybody know how SATs are moderated? I have heard that they look at your GAT scores - but then I have also heard that the GAT is pointless and doesn't change anything??

For studio arts I have got A+ for both SATs and I was just wondering if I get an A on the exam would my SAT marks be moderated down? I can't see how the exam would affect the SATs considering its completely different to the prac based tasks. Also - i'm ranked 1 or 2 so I don't know if that would change anything?

(Don't come here and say; "stop worrying, just focus on getting good scores", I want to actually know how the process works!)  ;)

Holy shit. It's the same title except the C is a T. So sorry.

What's SAT stand for, by the way, School Assessed ..?

I heard from a classmate that the GAT can boost your marks, but it can't make them any worse.

T stands for Tasks.

What's the difference between coursework and tasks, or are they just different names for the same thing?

They're both at the top now. Again, really sorry.
