Order practice Sats papers online for year 2 and for year 6

Sats test papers, ks2 sats exam papers, examples of sats exams are available online and these test papers can help your child gain confidence in dealing with exams of this type. If your school does not help them by giving them past sats test papers it can be very daunting to be handed a booklet on the day of the test to complete. The more practice sats test papers your child does in an environment that is not stressful but supportive, the more confidence your child will have when it comes to the important day itself. Even if your child has had a practice ks1 or ks2 sats test paper with you and the school then does it again with them it will only help develop their belief in themself that they can get through these sats tests. In ks2 mathematics particularly children can get stumped by what the question is actually asking and also that they are indeed allowed and actively encouraged to show their workings out. Children can get extra marks in the mathematics sats test paper even if they get the answer wrong, so long as they demonstrate that they were working towards the correct answer with workings out. So the more practice sats papers that your child can look at and discuss with you or their teacher the better equipped they will be when the sats exams take place.

When do sats tests start? Teachers often begin initial assessments from Janauary onwards to give children plenty of time to get used to handling the paper test booklets and understanding what the test paper is asking. Some teachers however wait until April as the actual sats exams start in May. The whole country takes them at the same time. International schools abroad have to wait until after all the UK children have taken their sats test papers before they are able to take them. During April you may hear your child tell you that they were taken out of the classroom into small groups for past sats papers to be completed. This is to give the teacher a good idea of the ability and level that your child may achieve and also for them to assess their reading ability for the reading test that takes place during sats week. It also helps them monitor how your child re-acts to the papers, prevents any copying and allows the teacher to answer questions that may arise from individual children.In May there are sats test papers/examinations in Reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics and Science. There is also a writing task. Please do not worry too much as your child will pick up on this and cause them unnecessary stress. Even if you find your child does not perform on the day as well as you had hoped it is not going to cause them too many problems going ahead. The really important examinations at school do not take place until they are sixteen, their GCSE's. Sats examinations give you a guide to your child's ability in a subject compared to others in the UK. The results may be used at secondary level if your child is in year 6 for the sats examinations to group them into ability sets, so for this purpose they are important. Also if your child may be going into a private school at secondary level the school will ask to see what your child's results were for their year 6, sats. However children in year 2 that are doing sats will not be affected by this and the sats test papers here will give you a guide to their strenghts and weaknesses and their ability compared to others in the UK. Key stage one, your child is in this stage if they are in year 2 or below. At the end of key stage one your child will take their first sats examinations. These take place whilst they are in year 2.   Key stage two, your child will take their sats examinations at the end of this year, so when they are in year 6.
