The mathematics SATs exam for year 6 pupils comes in 3 parts:
1) Test 1 (a 40 minute non calculator paper)
2) Test 2 (a 40 minute non calculator paper)
3) Arithmetic Paper
The arithmetic paper requires speed and good mental calculation ability, so a strong knowledge of the times tables is invaluable (visit Maths Star's Times Tables page for worksheets).
Tests A and B are more about having a general knowledge of mathematical processes. They test skills that were taught across Years 3 to 6 in areas such as bar charts, fractions, percentages, pie charts, etc. It is essential that students have good problem solving abilities in order to gain the highest level.
