In school we use past test papers as part of our termly assessments to help you prepare for your end of Key Stage 2 assessments (SATs). Taking these practice papers and learning about the questions that have been asked previously will help you feel more comfortable with the exams that you will take in May.
There is a lot you can do to prepare for the exams before the SATs test dates come around in May. As well as completing any homework throughout the year, you can revise for your SATs. Revising little and often is much better than stressing yourself out with long, last minute revision sessions. It's important to make sure that you don't place too much pressure on yourself.
The more relaxed you are, the more you will remember and learn, which means you are more likely to perform better during SATs week. Try to do a little bit of practice each week. You can complete tasks in your SAT buster books or on SATs Bootcamp. KS2 Year 6 SATs Dates - May 2026 English Spag Paper 1 Short answer questions English Spag Paper 2 Spelling test
