1.	Test A (levels 3–5)
	Introduction
	The questions involving number in test A assess children’s methods and skills in computation, both mental and written, without the aid of a calculator. Children’s understanding of a range of aspects of mathematics drawn from the key stage 2 programme of study is also tested. A few questions have partial credit marks to be awarded for children who show appropriate working but who reach incorrect answers. You should discourage rubbing out. Children should be encouraged to put a line through an incorrect answer and put any further attempts by the side. This will provide important information for the external marker and may be of interest to you when the scripts are returned to the school.
	A calculator is not allowed in test A.
	Allow the following times:
•	5 minutes for you to give instructions;
•	45 minutes for the children to complete the test.
	Administering test A
1.	Each child will need a copy of the test booklet, a pen or pencil for writing and the equipment listed.
2.	Ensure that the children understand that:
•	they must complete the test on their own without copying or discussing questions with other children;
•	they have 45 minutes to answer questions on the test paper;
•	they are not allowed to use a calculator;
•	

•	they should read the questions carefully and work through the test, answering as many questions as they can. If they find a question too difficult, they should go on to the next question and come back to it later, if they have time;
•	the number of marks available for each question is given in the margin. They should not write in this margin;
•	if they have time at the end of the test, they should go back and check their answers;
•	if they finish before the end of the 45 minutes, and have checked their work, they may hand it in. Note: under no circumstances should children be handed back their work once the papers have been handed in.
3.	Ask the children to write their own name and the name of the school on the front cover and then turn to the first page. They should not write anything until you say so.
4.	The first page of test A contains instructions. Read through the instructions with the children, ensuring that they understand all the instructions.
	Instructions
	You may not use a calculator to answer any questions in this test.
	Work as quickly and as carefully as you can.
	You have 45 minutes for this test.
	If you cannot do one of the questions, go on to the next one.
You can come back to it later, if you have time.
	If you finish before the end, go back and check your work.
	Follow the instructions for each question carefully.
	  This shows where you need to put the answer.
	If you need to do working out, you can use any space on a page.
	Some questions have an answer box like this:

	For these questions you may get a mark for showing your working.
5.	Allow the children 45 minutes to work through the test. As the session continues, you may wish to remind the children of the time they have left, for example halfway through the test and 15 minutes before the end. At any time during the test, children who have finished and are unable to answer any more questions should be encouraged to check their work before they hand it in.
6.	After 45 minutes, ask the children to stop writing. Collect the test booklets, ensuring that each one is clearly marked with the child’s name and the name of the school.
