Yes! All 150 grammar & punctuation questions in this book are modelled on the questions in the Paper 1 exam that children sat in 2023.

All 15 Spelling Tests are modelled on the SATs English Paper 2 format, which has not changed for a while.

All the content of the questions – the sentences, target words, synonyms, antonyms etc. - is brand new.

So, while the tests in this book ask the same types of questions as the 2023 exam, all the material that your child or student will be practising on will be material that they have not seen before.

What’s more, there are 150 grammar & punctuation questions - that’s three times the number of questions in the government exam!

This book offers very specific support for your child.

As the government regularly reuses & repurposes questions from previous exams, the fact that this book is based solely on the 2023 exam gives your child the important opportunity to repeatedly practise three different kinds of question types:

(a) Question types that are unique to the 2023 exam which have not been used in any previous SATs papers

(b) Variations of the government 2023 questions which show your child how the 2023-style questions might be repurposed to test their knowledge of different areas of grammar, spelling, punctuation, or vocabulary

(c) Question types that the government has used before since the 2023 paper includes questions which have been employed in previous SATs papers

More generally, this book aims to provide your child with regular practice sessions for the exam without overwhelming them. These are, in turn, designed to help reinforce your child’s accuracy and speed, and, ultimately, to boost their confidence.
