TEST 1

The first 15 questions in this revision and practice paper make demands on your child's English language and grammar including knowledge of plurals, adjectives, similes, spelling, speech marks and verbs. The comprehension section requires your child to have a good vocabulary which they will have gained by having read a wide assortment of texts.

There are other questions related to time, percentages, fractions and data handling. These questions will require your child to apply their mathematical knowledge to problem solving and to work quickly and accurately. These are all maths topics that will have been covered in their primary school.

 

TEST 2

The questions test your child's understanding and knowledge of many aspects of English including  the use of verbs, why and how texts are written for different audiences, differentiating fact from fiction, spelling and being able to understand what the author is suggesting but not actually saying.

 

There are maths questions on algebra, probability, problems involving money, the 24-hour clock, decimal fractions, reading scales, temperature, price reduction, reading a Venn diagram, angles, properties of shapes and working with scale drawings. All topics that will improve the maths ability and confidence of your child.

 

TEST  3

Makes use of a story written by an 11-year old so will appeal to your child.  With reading texts, your child must realise that in some contexts something that is not a fact may be written and portrayed in such a way that the reader may believe it to be true. Their teaching and learning in school should have covered apostrophes, contractions, nouns, adjectives and other aspects of English and so prepared them for the English content of SEAG Practice Test 3.

 

Maths questions requires knowledge of shapes and their area. How to calculate problems with money and calculation of the unknown quantity "X". Rotation, degrees, place value, average and rounding of numbers, reading data, calculations with complex equations, mathematical nets, cost reduction involving percentages and ratios are all included in this third test.
