Re: Year 6 tests
All the 2013 and earlier KS2 SATS papers are now downloadable via the Department of Education STA Orderline - sort by most recent first to find the newest ones.
Some schools may be other tests too, but papers for those aren't usually available.

Re: Year 6 tests
Every state school takes the KS2 tests which are inaccurately called SATS. Some schools also do CATs which are different.

Hi
The 11+ is out of the way for ds1. My thoughts are now turning to the Y6 KS2 writing paper. Can anyone advise if it is a choice of compositions to write. Or is there just the one. Are there any types that need to be prepared for ie reports, factal, letters etc.
Many thanks

Re: Year 6 tests
Writing is teacher assessed - there is no KS2 test now.
Re: Year 6 tests
They should do enough in school without needing to do extra practice at home. I have no idea what my dc were did for SATs other than they both did very well just with the input they got in school.

Just tried to download a 2012 paper (just to see whether I could, really ) and was told I couldn't, because I wasn't a school...Okanagan wrote:All the 2013 and earlier KS2 SATS papers are now downloadable via the Department of Education STA Orderline - sort by most recent first to find the newest ones.

Year 2011 and below work. I suspect the schools are still using 2012/2013 for in house assessment.
Re: Year 6 tests
you could try e-maths too, but I dare say that the school will be using past papers a lot!
