Year 3 to 5 Optional Tests

Year 3 to 5 Optional Tests, from 2003 onwards. Tests, mark schemes and guidance. These tests are for the pre 2014 Curriculum.

Looking for tests for the current curriculum? These optional tests were written for the curriculum before 2014. Our year group tests are written for today’s national curriculum: short SATs-style maths, reading and grammar tests for Years 2 to 6, plus science, each with a mark scheme and a question level analysis. Set 1 is free: maths, reading and grammar, punctuation and spelling.

Science Tests: Questions taken from past papers and based on the topics covered in QCA for science. For year 3 test, would recommend splitting into 2 parts, and providing help with reading. Answers and suggested thresholds included at end of document. Please note this was designed for the pre 2014 Curriculum.
