Trying the sample tests

Not sure if Home Access is right for your child? Try one of the sample tests first, and see exactly how BrainBuzz mental maths tests work.

1. Find the sample tests

Open the Mental Maths menu and choose Home Tests. Then select See the Free Tests.

2. Choose a year group

Pick your child's year group to see the sample test for it.

3. Run the test

Sit somewhere quiet with the sound turned up, and give your child a pencil and paper. Each question is read aloud twice, then your child has a set time to write their answer before the next question begins.

4. Go through the answers

At the end, the answers play one question at a time. It's a great chance to talk with your child about how they worked each one out.

Good to know

  • The sample tests – and every test you create with Home Access – are completely different from the tests schools use, so your child won't repeat a test they've done in class.
  • With a subscription, every test is made fresh for your child's year group and term.
