SAT's = Standard Assessment Tests why does the Radio 4 newsreader insist on saying SAT's Tests this morning, would he say Standard Assessment Tests Tests.
Maybe I'm just grumpy because I've been at work all night. 👿

MOT = Motor Ordinance Test, so you don't need to add the 'Test' bit

You're being pedantic while misusing an apostrophe?

OK, I was wrong 😳

Ordinance - A statute or regulation
nothing to do with artillery, so it does work.

I heard that SAT didnt stand for Standard Assessment Test any more because it wasnt a standard assessment, so was just SAT now. So SAT Tests would be accurate?

It never did. The "S" stands for "Scholastic" (in the American ones at least; in the UK it's a slang term so could mean whatever you want it to).
