Reasoning paper - reasoning/ problem solving

Assessment Y6•In the past, Key Stage 2 tests were aimed at children achieving levels 3-5 (with a national expectation to reach at least level 4).

•This means that some questions towards the end of the tests may be more difficult for many children but they should be encouraged to attempt as much of the test as they are able to.

•This meant that additional level 6 tests were produced for children who demonstrated higher than expected attainment (above level 5).••Under the new system, there are not any separate tests for the most-able children.••Instead, each test will have scope for higher-attaining pupils to show their strengths.

Assessment Y6

•During the reading paper, a child’s inference and deduction skills are thoroughly tested. They will also be expected to answer questions on authorial choices: explaining why an author has chosen to use particular vocabulary, grammar and text features.

•The reading test consists of a single test paper with three unrelated reading texts. Children are given 60 minutes in total, which includes reading the texts and answering the questions.

Assessment Y6A spelling test is administered containing 20 words, which lasts approximately 15 minutes.

A separate test is given on grammar, punctuation and vocabulary.

This test lasts for 45 minutes and requires short answer questions including some multiple choice.

Marks for these two tests are added together to give a total for grammar, punctuation and spelling.
