•Key Stage 2 SATs take place nationally in the week commencing
13th May 2019.
•Statutory tests will be administered in the following subjects:
oReading (60 minutes)
oSpelling (approximately 15 minutes)
oPunctuation, Vocabulary and Grammar (45 minutes)
oMathematics
- Paper 1: Arithmetic (30 minutes)
- Paper 2: Reasoning (40 minutes)
- Paper 3: Reasoning (40 minutes)
•All tests are externally marked.
•Writing will be ‘Teacher Assessed’,
as in recent years.

Your child will still be taught with the highest
expectations and cover all required elements of the
curriculum, similar to previous years.
The current curriculum is more rigorous and sets
high expectations which all schools have had to
work hard to meet since the beginning of 2015.

Scaled Scores
• 100 will always represent the ‘national standard’.
• Each pupil’s raw test score will therefore be converted
into a score on the scale, either at, above or below 100.
• A child who achieves the ‘national standard’ (a score of
100) will be judged to have demonstrated sufficient
knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests.
• Each pupil will receive:
o A raw score (number of raw marks awarded).
o A scaled score in each tested subject.
o Confirmation of whether or not they attained the
national standard 5
Raw scores
• The conversion to scaled scores from raw scores
last year was as follows:
• Reading Raw score of 28/50 =100 (40=110)
• Maths Raw score of 61/110=100 (96=110)
• SPAG Raw score of 38/70=100 (56=110)
CAUTION: These scores vary each year and are
fixed after comparisons with other children from
across the country who took the same test. We use
these as a guide only. 6
On publication of the test results in July:
• A child awarded a scaled score of 100 or
more is judged to have met the ‘national
standard’ in the test.
• A child awarded a scaled score of less than
100 is judged to have not yet met the
national standard and performed below
expectation for their age.
7• There are not any separate tests for higher attaining
children
• Instead, each test will have scope for higher attaining
pupils to show their strengths.
• Higher attaining children are expected to receive a
scaled score of over 110 in their papers however they
will be compared to children with similar starting
points

9Reading test
One hour to include reading time
Questions are designed to assess the comprehension and understanding of
a child’s reading.
The Reading Test consists of a single test paper with three unrelated
reading texts.
The tests could consist of a selection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts
Questions will be roughly in order of difficulty.
The paper will be scored out of 50.
Raw scores are converted into a scaled score, with 100 representing the
expected standard.
Some questions are multiple choice or selected response, others require
short answers and some require an extended response or explanation
10Breakdown of reading
Marks will be awarded as follows:
Multiple choice or other selected responses: 10% - 30%
Short responses: 40% - 60%
Extended responses: 20% - 40%
The reading test booklet is to be 1,800-2,300 words in total across a
selection of texts.
11Some questions will test the children on their
understanding of vocabulary.
12Others will require the children to deduce answers
by using words or phrases as evidence.
13Grammar
14A second test will assess spelling (20 marks). This will
contain 20 words, lasting approximately 15 minutes.
The spelling test will be read to pupils, with each
spelling contained in a contextualised sentence
Overall marks out of 70 for Grammar and Spelling
will be converted to a scaled score, with 100
representing the expected standard.

16Sample Question
17Children will sit three tests: Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3
Maths Arithmetic Paper – 30 minutes based written number questions.
The paper covers calculation methods for all operations, including
use of fractions, percentages and decimals.
Paper 2 – 40 minutes (NO calculator allowed 40 marks) cover
‘Problem Solving and Reasoning
Paper 3 – 40 minutes (NO Calculator allowed) (40 marks) cover
‘Problem Solving and Reasoning
Add all the marks together to get an overall score – marked
externally
Pupils will still require calculation skills but will need to answer
questions in context and decide what is required to find a solution.
Questions for all papers gradually increase in difficulty.
