Evening All

Are there any useful sites that anyone can recommend for Primary School SATs and Secondary School CATs tests for verbal reasoning, non-verbally reasoning, spatial and quantitative tests.

I would especially like a good site for the reading tests for SATs as my nephew said she found it hard, her exact words were she didn't understand everything she read in the text provided.

She found the grammar and punctuation test easy and she's very good at maths.

Thank you everyone who responds with useful advice and information.

Love

Andrew

    The reading age of the text in last years reading SATs was very high meaning that children struggled to read for meaning (could read the words but didn't understand it).
    66% of last years children met expected level in Reading last year compared with 70% + for Maths, writing and SPAG.
    I imagine some of the practise tests she has done at school also have a high reading age.
    She may have looked at these papers at school but this would be good place to start:

    The Bond series are the books that have tended to be used over many years for practise. They come in blue (English) red (maths) green (verbal reasoning) and yellow (non verbal reasoning). They also do separate Sats/11 plus packs. They have a free website where there are extra practise resources, hints and tips.
    Remember SPaG is now a big deal too (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and you can buy some great resources (around £10) for your child to work through. (Bond do a great one!)
    Good luck! It`s a stressful time for children (and parents too!)
