The Target Mathematics Tests have been designed to provide standardized measures of maths attainment at two critical points during Key Stage 2. The item content has been selected to reflect the Key Stage 2 Mathematics curriculum while remaining independent of particular maths teaching schemes. Two tests provide overlapping coverage and up-to-date norms can be used with whole-class groups within a single class period. They are easy to score. "Test 4" (for ages 8:4 to 10:3) comprises 55 items, of which 30 are presented orally to minimize the effect of any reading difficulty, and is administered in approximately 40 minutes. It is particularly suitable for use with Year 4 children during the summer term or Year 5 in the autumn term.
