Mini SATs Practice Tests 91-100: KS2 Year 6

Ten Year 6 KS2 mini SATs papers (91 to 100): questions each on maths, SPaG, reading and spelling, with answers. One sheet a day. Free PDF.

This 30-page A4 PDF contains mini SATs papers 91 to 100, with all ten answer pages at the back. A mini SATs paper is a cut-down practice test: a few questions from each of the Year 6 SATs papers on one double-sided sheet. Because it takes about 20 minutes, it fits into a normal school day, and regular short practice builds stamina and confidence without the fatigue of a full past paper.

Each paper is one double-sided A4 sheet. Side 1 has five maths questions, one each on arithmetic, number, fractions, measures, and geometry or statistics, every one with a squared working area and diagrams where needed, followed by five grammar, punctuation and spelling questions in the formats children meet in the SATs: circling or underlining words, ticking the correct answer, adding punctuation and completing tick-box grids. Side 2 has a short reading text with five questions (retrieval, inference, vocabulary and a true-or-false table) and five spellings, each a missing word in a sentence for an adult to read aloud.

Reading texts in this set (5 non-fiction texts, 2 stories and 3 biographies): The Amazon Rainforest (non-fiction); The Map Maker’s Daughter (fiction); Weather and Climate (non-fiction); Stone Age to Iron Age (non-fiction); Marie Curie (biography); William Shakespeare (biography); Night Fishing (fiction); The Celts (non-fiction); The Human Heart (non-fiction); Malala Yousafzai (biography).

A taste of paper 91. Arithmetic: 3075 × 18 (answer 55,350). Grammar: Circle the three adjectives in the sentence below: The cold grey sea looked distant. Spellings: allowed, sequence, accommodate, antiseptic, attached.

How it links to the SATs: in May, Year 6 pupils sit an arithmetic paper and two reasoning papers in maths, a grammar, punctuation and spelling questions paper, a 20-word spelling test and an hour-long reading paper. Every one of those is represented on each mini paper, so children practise switching between question types, just as the real tests demand.

How to use them: give one paper a day as a morning task or lesson starter, then mark it together using the answer page. Children can record their score out of 20 on the paper and look for patterns over a week. They also work well for homework, booster groups, tutoring and assessment for learning before a unit.

The answer pages are at the back, one per paper. They give every answer, short working for the maths, the punctuation to add shown in bold, and the spelling words with their sentences, so an adult can read each word, the sentence, then the word again, as in the SATs spelling test.

This is set 10 of 10 in a series of 100 mini SATs papers. No question, reading text or spelling word appears twice across the series, so the sets can be used one after another from autumn to May. All the papers are also available together as one bundle.
