whyYear 4 Government Times Tables Test • What is it? The times tables test will test pupils’ abilities to meet the National Curriculum standards for times tables (up to 12 x 12) in a more informal way than testing methods such as SAT tests in Year 6. • Who has to do it? Year 4 pupils. All state-funded maintained schools, academies and free schools in England will need to take part in the check. • How long is it? The check is 25 questions long, with 3 practice questions. It should take about 5 minutes. • What’s in it? There’s an emphasis on the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables, since these are the most difficult for children to remember. In addition, there’s no questions on the 1 times table, except potentially in the practice questions. • How do they do it? It’s digital. In a first for primary schools in England, the check is on a laptop, tablet or other similar device.
