Prior to the Transfer Test your child’s school will have taught and revised all of the maths concepts that are likely to be examined by either version of the Transfer Test. Their schoolwork should have included quality teaching, testing and homework practice. Additional structured practice of the basics, such as number facts, their times tables, relationships between decimals and fractions to name but a few, all require constant rehearsal and repetition. Once these basic facts are well established then your child must be able to apply this knowledge quickly and accurately to more demanding problem solving.

By using this supplementary maths practice test you will provide your child with a chance to prepare in the safety of their own home answering questions from many units of maths that are likely to appear in the Transfer Test. At the same time, you are helping to improve your child’s confidence in their maths skills - skills that are necessary for success. The more knowledge that is developed of the sorts of questions that they may encounter will help to reduce exam day stress.

This maths test paper can be completed in the standard way, by writing the answer on the test paper or some parents may wish their children to complete the test using our large format multiple choice answer sheets which are attached to your download. (The large format can be used to introduce children to the skills required to complete a multiple-choice answer sheet.)
