Or make a quick question sheet

1 Choose the topics

Arithmetic questions are like Paper 1 (short calculations). Reasoning questions are like Papers 2 and 3 (problems, diagrams and explanations). Use either column, or both. The label beside each topic (for example “3 styles”) is how many different kinds of question that topic can make, such as a diagram question, a word problem or an explanation. More styles means more variety on your sheet.

About these questions

Every question here is written by this website, in the style of the key stage 2 maths tests (Paper 1 arithmetic, and Papers 2 and 3 reasoning). We studied the layout, wording and kinds of question in the 2000 to 2025 tests, then wrote our own, with new numbers and diagrams drawn for each sheet. They are not real test questions and they are not copied from any test. For the real ones, see SATs past questions, which uses the same topic names.

Every answer is worked out by the computer from the numbers in the question, and a separate program re-checks them. Two-mark questions have a working box, and the answer file gives the marking guidance. Calculators are not needed.

Questions teachers ask

How do the test papers work?

Press one of the three paper buttons. Each paper copies the shape of a real test from 2022 to 2025: the same number of questions, the same topics in the same order and the same marks for each question (including the 2-mark and 3-mark questions), so Arithmetic Paper 1 starts with easy calculations and ends with long division, and the reasoning papers start with short questions and finish with multi-step problems. Every question is newly written by this site with new numbers. The paper downloads with a cover page, an instructions page, the boxed question pages and an end-of-test page, plus a separate mark scheme. Use the quick question sheet instead when you want a condensed page for homework or a short task.

Are these real SATs questions?

No. They are new questions written for this website in the style of the key stage 2 maths tests. If you want the real questions from the 2000 to 2025 papers, use SATs past questions.

Can I edit the questions?

Yes. The practice sheet and the answer sheet download as Word files, so you can change wording, delete a question or add your own. The diagrams are pictures you can resize or replace.

How are the answers checked?

The answers are worked out by the computer from the numbers in each question, then every question style is re-checked by a second, separate program, including the properties of drawn shapes such as parallel sides, right angles and lines of symmetry.
