With four weeks to go, there's no need to cram. Find the few topics that still trip your child up, practise them little and often, and sit an official SEAG practice paper so the format feels familiar on 14 November.
Checked against official SEAG guidance on 15 October 2026.
Every SEAG paper has 28 English and 28 maths questions, and both papers follow the same format. With four weeks to go, going over everything spreads time too thinly. A short check of what your child already knows lets you spend the month where it counts.
Our free gap check does this for maths and English with no account needed. Your child's teacher can also tell you which areas they see as less secure.
The official practice papers 1 to 4, answer sheets and parents' guide are free on the SEAG practice materials page. SEAG says Papers 3 and 4 are drawn from the 2025 assessment.
In the last few days, rest and routine do more than extra practice. A simple shape for the week before Saturday 14 November:
Between the two papers, keep the week normal and avoid going over Paper 1. Our night-before checklist covers what to pack.
If the gap check or a practice paper points to one of these areas, these free topic pages have questions, answers and worked examples. They are a starting point, not a list of everything that could come up.
See every topic in the free practice hub.
A month is not the time to learn everything from scratch, and it does not need to be. It is enough time to find the handful of topics that still cause trouble, practise them little and often, and get comfortable with the format using the official practice papers.
Short, regular sessions work better than long ones. Around 15 to 20 minutes on most days, with one or two full timed practice papers spread across the month, is plenty for most children. Ease off in the final week.
No. Full papers take an hour and are best used to rehearse timing and spot gaps. One or two across the month, followed by working on the mistakes, does more good than a paper every day.
Keep the week normal. Avoid going over Paper 1 answers. If your child wants to, a few short sessions on familiar topics are fine, but rest and routine matter more.
Start the month with the free gap check, then spend the time on the topics that need it.
