Here are some suggestions to help prepare your child for primary SATs:

  1. Practice past papers: Obtain past papers and work through them with your child, timing them to see how long it takes to complete each question.
  2. Use revision guides: Encourage your child to use revision guides for maths, English, and science, specifically designed for primary SATs.
  3. Get plenty of rest: Encourage your child to get plenty of rest the night before the tests, as well as a healthy breakfast on the day.
  4. Stay positive: Maintain a positive attitude, as your child will pick up on any anxiety or stress you might be feeling. Encourage them to do their best, and remember that the results are not a reflection of their worth as a person.
  5. Practice maths and English skills: Encourage your child to practice maths and English skills in everyday life, such as counting change or reading labels.
  6. Get additional support: If your child is struggling with a particular subject, consider getting additional support from a tutor or teacher.
