How a paper works here

The clock starts when you do and runs for the real time: 30 minutes for arithmetic, 40 for each reasoning paper, 45 for the grammar and punctuation paper.

No calculator, as in the real test. Keep a pencil and paper for working.
The spelling paper is read aloud, so turn the sound on.
When the time is up, the paper is handed in and marked.
The site marks an answer right or wrong only when it is certain. Anything it cannot be sure of, such as an unusual way of writing an answer, a drawing or an explanation, comes to you or another grown-up with the official mark scheme entry on screen, and you give the marks.

Finish every paper in a subject for one year and you get a scaled score. To turn a mark you already have into one, use the SATs scaled score converter.

Which years would you have passed?

Finish all the papers for a subject in one year and you get that year's scaled score. 100 or more means you would have met the expected standard that year.

Each year is worked out with its own official table, so a child who sits several years can see where they would have got there and where they fell short. A gold star goes on every year that reached 100.

What is included and what is not

Maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling, 2016 to 2026. No reading papers, and no 2020 or 2021, because the tests were cancelled in both years.

Parts of the reading texts and pictures belong to other publishers, so we cannot put them on screen. The reading papers are free to download from GOV.UK past test materials.

Questions parents ask

Short answers. The longer ones are on the pages linked.

Is it free?: Yes. Every paper is free to sit, and the scaled score converter is free too.
Is this the real paper?: Yes. Each one is the paper Year 6 sat that May, published by the Standards and Testing Agency, with the same questions, order, marks and time limit.
Is the score official?: No. It uses that year's official conversion table, but it comes from a practice sitting at home, so read it as a good estimate. How scaled scores work
What do you keep about my child?: Without an account, nothing leaves your device. With one, a child is a nickname, a colour, a school year and their marks: no surname, birthday, school or photo. Privacy
Do I need an account?: No. Your child can start a paper straight away. A parent account is there if you want results saved for more than one child, on any device.
What if my child runs out of time?: The paper is handed in as it stands, as it would be in the hall. If your child has extra time at school, a grown-up can add it before the clock starts, and the clock can be hidden.
What is a pass?: There is no pass mark as such. A scaled score of 100 or more means the expected standard was met, and that is what most people mean by a pass. Scaled scores and the marks needed each year
