Sorry! Just saw that you found out that it was for year 7!

It’s for Year 6s! You might want to get the thread pulled then?

Blimey. I don't think it's year 6, let alone year 5 or 4!!

In the nicest possible way, saying that is year 3 as pps did is absolutely typical mumnet

I know it has now been clarified as Year 7 entry, but I am still curious though (in general) - if a child were looking to transfer to an independent school for sixth form, and he or she was not wanting to any STEM subjects at A level, is it really likely that they would have to sit a maths test?

My point being, OP not think it was odd to see a maths test full stop?

Yes it looks fine as a Year 6 test for year 7 years 4/5 would start work on it and Year 6 finished it all off

Also, I am still a bit ? at “write 35 as a decimal” Obviously I know that it is 35.0 but is that not an odd question, in that there’s not a lot of point in writing something as a decimal unless there is something after the decimal point? I’d have thought they’d have asked something like “write two and three quarters as a decimal”?

And @Frozenfan2019 does “write 620 as a percentage” make any sense to you?

“write 620 as a percentage” make any sense to you?

Glad I'm not the only one who struggled with that. I guess the answer could be 50%, or 100%, or 16%!

Write 3/5 as a decimal?
Write 6/20 as a percentage?

Is fairly likely

Entrance exam doesn't surprise me. What's the time limit for it?

Quite a lot of independent schools have a maths paper A like this one, to test skills and look for gaps in knowledge, then a paper B, with more time per question but that's about problem solving and applying the maths you know in a different way.

So paper A would ask you a question just as "what is the area of a rectangle that measures 2 cm by 3 cm", paper B's question would be something like "Elizabeth is going to tile her patio. The area she wants to tile is 2 m long and 3. 5m wide. Tiles are 20 cm by 20 cm. a. How many tiles will she need? B. Her friend brings her some smaller tiles to go around the edge that are 20x5 cm (see diagram for how they're laid), how many of each or of tile will she need now?

It's the kind of thing I'd expect to see for higher set year 6 or the 11+.

It’s Y4 work

No it very much isn’t (state primary teacher here). Although some of the questions have obviously lost some of their formatting (and therefore meaning) in the copy and paste over here, there is plenty on that which is not touched until years 5 and 6.

(When I say entrance exam, I mean at 11 - we don't have the 11+ around here, so just call them entrance exams.)

I might send this to ds2 (year 6) and see how he gets on with it.

Like pp I don't understand how you can answer "write 620 as a percentage". And I don't know how to " write 234 as a mixed number".

It's been 23 years since I did GCSE Maths and it shows :(

23/4?

It is a fairly standard diagnostic test and has lost a lot in being converted from a PDF.
Sort of thing used in FE to find gaps in knowledge of kids who did not get a pass grade at GCSE.

I agree Y5/6. Some could be done by lower years but not all. I think 5) is asking what is 1.5 / 0.25 - that’s quite tricky.

620 as a percentage seems baffling, but if you think that 1 = 100%, 620 = 62,000%. Still, I think that’s year 5/6 knowledge.

Making guesses at some questions with missing / and skipping a couple of the conversions, my (able) Y4 has just done it. And my Y6 flew through it.
So, Id guess Y5.

Off to read the thread now.

Year 4 - it's what she is working on now

Year 5/6

Sorry I missed there was more than one page. I’m glad you said it was Y7 entry... I was thinking it looked like it but was too scared to say it, because of the inevitable ‘my DS liked to do those kind of sums age 6’ brigade 😂

Primary school teacher here... It's an odd mix of questions... Some stupidly easy, others really hard.

I'd say Year 5 as an average, but some could be tackled by a bright Year 4, and yet some is solidly in Year 6 territory.

Can you post a link to the school OP?

I want to see the pdf!

The thing is, a test for a specific year group will contain much material covered in previous years. The Year 6 SATs, for example, contain quite a small proportion of questions on material only taught in Year 6, instead testing material covered throughout KS2 (which obviously itself builds on what is taught in KS1).

So in this test, many of the questions are from the lower KS2 curriculum. The highest (in terms of the national curriculum) are from the Y5 curriculum (possibly Year 6, depending on whether the context of money in Q19 is familiar enough for a child to be able to apply their knowledge of multiplication and division to a decimal, as 'formally' this is only taught in Y6).

I'd say Y5, on balance.
