SATS papers - Science 2006 Test A

The Science 2006 Test A for Key Stage 2 is an assessment that was part of the Standard Assessment Tests (SATs) in the United Kingdom. These tests are designed to evaluate the scientific knowledge of students at the end of their primary education, typically around the age of 11. The papers assess various aspects of the science curriculum, including knowledge of living things, materials, and physical processes. The questions range from multiple-choice to open-ended responses, aimed at testing the pupils' understanding and application of scientific concepts.

The SATs Science 2006 Test A is accompanied by a mark scheme pack, which provides the correct answers and guidelines for marking the test papers. Teachers and examiners use these resources to ensure consistent and accurate assessment of students' work. At the end of the test, students are prompted to review their answers, ensuring that they have completed all questions to the best of their ability. These tests are sourced from an educational resource and are part of the materials provided by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) to schools across the UK. The QCA, located at 83 Piccadilly in London, is responsible for the development and administration of the SATs.
