I am looking for free websites that contain practice worksheets and workbooks that simulate SAT Key Stage 1. I came across many sites similar to KS1 curricullum but i am specifically looking for sites with SAT KS1 format. I have listed few websites below that i found. Kindly share if you have some.
Thanks in advance.

It is a waste of time and effort to try to enhance your child's performance in the tests, particularly these KS1 ones. If a secondary school is setting based on KS2 sats then there is reason to put some effort in, ( though most secondaries supplement them with more reliable CAT testing in school) but otherwise imo you would be better reading with them some more, or making a cake. I know as a good parent you probably do all those things too, but KS1 Sats are a wicked waste of time :mad: and parents should not be feeling they have to supplement what happens in school to get a 'good grade' when their child is 7.:eek: Unless you are a KS1 teacher seeking to improve your figures?0 -
I couldn't agree more McCallister.
I am personally always on the lookout for beneficial educational sites though as are loads of other MSEers. Always chuffed when someone starts a thread like this as I usually find a good gem of a site.:A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A

Thanks- I know myself how parents get into feeling gulity about not preparing kids for tests- and I know that there are lots of good sites on this thread. I think the only people to have benefitted from all the Sats tests are the educational publishers who must have made a fortune with revision guides which they would never have sold otherwise.0

My daughter does her KS1 SATs in a couple of weeks, so just so she wasn't phased by them I gave her a maths one to do. She just about managed 2C (despite being reasonably good at maths). I went through the questions with her then a week later gave her another to do and she got a very good 2A. Just goes to show how 'useful' they really are as an indicator of ability they really are.0

Try putting in a google search for Brightminds.co.uk. (I tried to put the link in but I'm a newbie so I wasn't allowed!).
It contains old SAT papers. We used them as practice at home so that the kids weren't scared by the formality of it at school. I work in a school so I see how upset some children get. :mad:0 -

I am a teacher of KS1, and have been for the past 8 years. In my experience, the SATS are as waste of time. I have had children do really well on the tests just through pure guess work, especially with the reading. I had one girl achieve a 2C in reading, when in reality she was actually still working at a 1C/1B. Is that really a good indicator?
And as a person who is anti-sats, I found myself teaching to the tests, and (hangs head in shame) found myself saying to the children 'you need to know this for SATS!!' Hated hearing myself saying that.0
