2017 TESTS
Children will sit three tests: Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3.
Paper 1 is for ‘Arithmetic’ lasting for 30 minutes, covering calculation methods for all operations, including use of fractions, percentages and decimals.
Questions gradually increase in difficulty. Not all children will be expected to access some of the more difficult questions later in the paper.
Papers 2 and 3 cover ‘Problem Solving and Reasoning’, each lasting for 40 minutes.
Pupils will still require calculation skills but will need to answer questions in context and decide what is required to find a solution.
