I have no idea about the level, but some of the questions make no sense whatsoever (and I studied maths as a significant part of my degree!)

Dunno about years. I'd say about age 10.
Maybe they're questions from the old eleven plus! If you're under 30, ask your parents

620 as a percentage?
CD-ROMS?
35 as a decimal?

WTF?

Many of those 'questions' are garbage.

And why does it say weird things like “write down the answer to”. Isn’t that a bit unnecessary?

Maybe it was meant to be 23/4 ?

I also agree that some don't make sense at all and would baffle an adult!

Year 5ish but some of the questions are weird and make no sense

The 620 as a percentage isn't that difficult its 62000%

If written more clearly, y5. As it is, y6 or y7

Year 4

I guess 620 should read 6/20 or 30%

Agree. Looks like my DC’s year four tests.

Yeat 5

Are you a trainee teacher ?
Or a confused parent ?
😊

I teach Y4. It's a Y6 test because it has a mixture of the Ks2 curriculum. The inclusion of percentages means it must be higher than Y4 as its not on our NC. At a push higher Y5 but probably SATS as 70% of most SATs test is from Y3, 4 and 5 and it's a jumble of skills.

Bright year 5 or Year 6.

35 as a decimal is 35.0, easy. 234 as a mixed number could be, e.g. 233 4/4. Percentages and square numbers do mark it as high KS2 at least.

My bright year 3 could do some of them but not all so I would guess yr 4 for most of it but with some extension q/ q from older years?

Sorry for delay in reply and also I copied and pasted from a pdf so perhaps some sentences are incomplete. I have not included all of teh questions (some were on calculating area) but they were around the same level of complexity as these.

I found this online. It has been supplied by a UK grammar school and is the maths entry test for those entering 6th form from outside. So, age 16.

I am stunned. We cover so much of this at primary. The rest of teh paper (and the English paper is no different) is just a continuation at this level.

I don't get it - I thought grammar school tests on entry at 11 would be much toughre but to do this at 16?

Year 4

It looks like a y6 sats test (at least what they looked like the last time I taught pre 2010). Designed to cover levels 3,4 and 5 so a mix of questions.

Why would you do a maths test if you’re entering a school at 6th form? Wouldn’t you either be doing A level maths or science or STEM stuff in which case your maths would be way above this level, or arts subjects where maths not relevant?

Yr4 higher ability or yr 5/6. Definitely primary. That's way too easy for 16 yr olds

Well to me it is primary level - I am surprised its pitched at secondary.

I could understand if they put questions in there to test whether the basics have been covered but then you would expect them to get harder, which they didn't.

Same for the English paper - I would pitch that at Yr 9, tops.
