There is no Year 6 SATs writing test.  \n When and howtheSATs are completed  \nThe tests take place during normal school hours, under exam conditions.  \nChildren are not allowed to talk to each other from the moment the assessments are handed out until they are collected atthe end of the test.  \nAfter the tests are completed, the papers are sent away to be marked externally.  \nThe results are then sent to the school in July.  \nSpecific arrangements for SATs  \nChildren with additional needs (who have similar support as part of day-to-day learning in school) may be allotted specific arrangements, including:  \nAdditional (extra) time;  \nTests being opened early to be modified;  \nAn adult to scribe (write) for them;  \nUsing word processors independently; An adult to read for them (including a translator);  \nThe use of prompts or rest breaks;  \nArrangements for children who are ill or injured at the time of the tests.  \nPupils with an EHCP are automatically allowed up to 25% additional time (except for the spelling paper, which is not strictly timed). Pupils who use the modified large print or braille  \nversions of the tests are automatically allowed up to 100% additional time.  \nGrammar, Punctuation and Spelling: Tuesday 9th May  \nGrammar, punctuation and spelling consists of two papers.  \nPaper 1 focuses on all three elements (grammar, punctuation and spelling  \nor GPS) . The paper lasts for 45 minutes.  \nPaper 2 consists of a spelling test only. It should take approximately 15 minutes, although this is not a set amount of time (pupils should be given  \nas much time as they need to complete the test) .  \nResults  \nOnce marked, the tests will be given the following scores:  \nA raw score (total number of marks achieved for each paper);  \nA scaled score (see below);  \nA judgement on if the National Standard has been met.  \nScaled scores range from 80 to 120.  \nA scaled score of 100 or more shows the pupil is meeting the National Standard.  \nGrammar, Punctuation and Spelling: Paper 1 (GPS)  \nThe children will have been working hard with their class teacher on developing and securing their knowledge of the technical vocabulary needed in this test.  \nThis test focuses on:  \n• Grammatical terms/ word classes;  \n• Functions of sentences;  \n• Combining words, phrases and clauses;  \n• Verb forms, tenses and consistency;  \n• Punctuation;  \n• Vocabulary;  \n• Standard English and formality.  \nThis test requires a range of answer types but does not require longer formal answers.  \nGrammar, Punctuation and Spelling: Paper 1 (GPS)  \nGrammar, Punctuation and Spelling: Paper 2 (spelling)  \nPaper 2 is a shorter paper that focuses solely on spellings.  \nExample questions:","cbCaih2nLm6FYOA3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih2nLm6FYOA3","pdf",1655605,31,"English","# Understanding KS2 SATs\n## What are the SATs?\n## When do SATs take place?\n## When and how the SATs are completed\n## Specific arrangements for SATs\n## Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling\n### Paper 1 (GPS)\n### Paper 2 (Spelling)\n## Results","[{\"question\":\"What subjects are tested in KS2 SATs?\",\"answer\":\"KS2 SATs include Mathematics, English Reading, and English Grammar, Punctuation \\u0026 Spelling (GPS).
