What to expect in your test?

Your maths teacher often sets the test from the easiest question to the hardest. Where there are short-answer questions, you’ll see the easier ones at the top and the harder ones at the bottom. Here are some quick tips:

• The one-mark questions need no working out. Always write the answers clearly and include the units where necessary. 
• Most questions will need working out whereas others will ask you to give reasoning. Take time to do the higher-order questions if they carry 3 - 5 marks.
• The Year 8 maths tests marks can range from 30 – 50. You should be able to complete them in one period, 40 or 50 minutes. Some end-of-the-year tests do often have more than 50 marks and can take up to two periods in duration time.

Read the instruction carefully

Your teacher will expect you to do certain things. These expectations are often given in the instructions. So, it is important to read the instructions and know what you must do to get full marks.

Here is an example of instructions you are likely to see on your Year 8 maths test papers:

• You may use a calculator.
• Read all questions carefully.
• You will need a ruler.
• You have 50 minutes to complete this test.
• Show all you working in the space provided.

Year 8 maths test best practices

Do not spend too much time on one question if you find it very hard to do. Move on and attempt the other test questions. Return to the hard question/s when you have time in the end.

For example, if you have 50 minutes to do 40 test questions, that is 1.25 minutes per question. Some questions may take less time, but all in all, you should NOT spend 2 minutes or more on one question. By doing this, you’ll have time to answer all the questions.

• Check the time every 20 or 30 minutes.
• Work through the easy questions, do not spend too much time on the hard question.

• Show the right answer clearly.
• Draw neat graphs and label them accurately.
• You must strive to do the following when answering the GCSE maths exam questions.
• Set out your work so that it is logically so that it is easy to follow and understand.
