Walkthroughs that make children think
Every lost mark opens a step-by-step walkthrough. The child types each step, a diagram builds as they go, and a fresh question at the end proves it stuck.

Every lost mark opens a step-by-step walkthrough. The child types each step, a diagram builds as they go, and a fresh question at the end proves it stuck.

Every question is mapped to the national curriculum content it tests, so you see progress against the real standard, topic by topic.

It is the loop a good tutor runs, without the marking.
Timed like May, or relaxed if you prefer. Official Maths and grammar & spelling papers from 2016 to 2026, plus Reading practice papers.
Each wrong answer opens a walkthrough, then a similar question to check it is fixed.
A scaled score for every paper, and the topics where the marks went.

KS2 SATs 2027 take place from Monday 10 to Thursday 13 May 2027: GPS on Monday, Reading on Tuesday, Maths Papers 1 and 2 on Wednesday, and Maths Paper 3 on Thursday. Schools can view the results online from Tuesday, 6 July 2027.
There are six papers across three subjects. Maths: Paper 1 Arithmetic (30 min, 40 marks), Paper 2 Reasoning (40 min, 35 marks), Paper 3 Reasoning (40 min, 35 marks). English Reading: one paper (60 min, 50 marks). GPS: Paper 1 Grammar & Punctuation (45 min, 50 marks) and Paper 2 Spelling (approx 15 min, 20 marks).
Raw marks are converted to scaled scores ranging from 80 to 120. A scaled score of 100 or more means your child has met the expected standard, and 110 or more is the higher standard. The conversion varies each year to account for differences in paper difficulty.
A scaled score of 100 or more is a good score: it means the expected standard has been met. In 2026, about three in four pupils reached 100 or more in each subject, and the national average scaled score was 106 in reading and 105 in maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling.
No. Secondary school places in England are allocated based on admissions criteria such as distance from home, catchment area, or sibling links — not SATs scores. SATs results are passed to the secondary school to help them understand your child's starting level.
Across the 793 maths questions set between 2016 and 2026, Arithmetic accounts for 38.5%, calculation and problem-solving strategies 13.7%, fractions, decimals and percentages 10.6%, and number and place value 10.2%. Short multiplication is the single most-tested topic, with 46 questions.
Yes. The official papers and mark schemes from 2016 onwards are free to download: the most recent three years from GOV.UK, and every year we hold on our past papers page. AceLearner is building an interactive version of them, opening in November 2026.
The past-paper PDFs, the scaled score converter, our guides and the sample questions are free to use. AceLearner itself opens in November 2026, and the waitlist hears about plans and pricing first.
AceLearner is a new kind of KS2 learning platform. Children sit real SATs papers, and every lost mark opens a step-by-step walkthrough in which they do the working themselves, followed by a similar question to check the method has stuck. It is also designed to bring questions back until mistakes are secure, adjust difficulty to the child, and build mastery topic by topic. Parents see which topics cost marks, not just a score.
The Maths and grammar, punctuation and spelling papers are the official STA papers from 2016 to 2026, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The Reading practice papers are AceLearner's own, because the official reading texts are third-party copyright and can't be reproduced.
AceLearner opens in November 2026. Join the waitlist and hear first — and start with the paper most like this year's.
