The least demanding text will come first with the following texts increasing in level of difficulty.  Children will have a total of one hour to read the texts and complete the questions at their own pace.  The reading answer booklet will comprise approximately 35 to 40 questions (totalling 50 marks). The questions are:  shorter, closed response items (such as multiple choice and matching questions);  shorter, open response items  longer, open response items that require children to explain and comment on the texts in order to demonstrate a full understanding.  Questions are worth 1, 2 or 3 marks.

 Level 6  The level 6 test consists of:  a reading booklet containing around three or four texts based on a single theme  a reading answer booklet comprising approximately 25 questions (totalling marks)  Children are given ten minutes to read the reading booklet and 50 minutes to answer the questions in the answer booklet. They can refer back to the texts in the reading booklet throughout the test.  Questions are worth 1, 2, 3 or 4 marks.

English grammar, punctuation and spelling test (video link) Levels 3-5 The English grammar, punctuation and spelling test at levels 3-5 has two components, worth a total of 70 marks: a booklet of short-answer questions a spelling task Paper 1, the short-answer questions, consists of between 40 and 50 questions assessing grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. Each question is worth one or two marks with a total for the paper of 50 marks. The questions are: selected response items (such as multiple choice questions) or short, open response items, in which children may have to write a word, a few words or a sentence. Paper 2, the spelling task, consists of 20 sentences, which are read aloud by the test administrator. Each sentence has a word missing which the child must complete. The task is worth a total of 20 marks.

Paper 1 requires multiple choice or short sentence answers, covering areas such as using connectives (because, despite, however, etc), using pronouns (I/me) correctly, capitalising the correct words in a sentence and explaining why, putting the correct punctuation into a given sentence, writing sentences that illustrate two different meanings of the same word (such as ‘present’), identifying the verb/noun/adjective/clauses in a sentence, and using plurals correctly. For example:connectivespronounsverb/noun/adjective/clauses in a sentence Q: Which ending would make the word lazy an adverb? A: laziness/lazily/lazier/laziest Correct answer: lazily Paper 2 is a spelling test, where children will have to spell words dictated by the examiner (presented within sentences). For example: Pria turned on the television to watch her favourite cartoon.
