This test has 18 questions. Harder rules! Like: baby → babies (change -y to -ies). Plus shortened words called contractions: do not = don't.

And lots of tricky words like "said", "was", "where" — words you can't just sound out. You have to KNOW these.

The schoolbook Y2 spelling assessment. Adds harder rules: -y → -ies plurals (baby → babies), contractions (do not → don't, I am → I'm), and the high-stakes common exception words — the 100+ words at KS1 that don't follow phonetic rules.

Common exception words are tested in the Y2 SATs SPaG paper. Daily practice (a few words a day) is the only reliable way to learn them — there's no rule, you just have to remember them.

Full KS1 spelling assessment. Question distribution: plurals incl. -y → -ies (3), suffixes (3), prefix un- (2), contractions (3), common exception words Y1+Y2 (5), Y2-specific spelling patterns (2).

SATs alignment: the Y2 SPaG SATs paper draws heavily from this content. Pupils scoring 70%+ are typically secure for the spelling section.

Auto-marked. For exception words, the Review screen will reveal which specific words tripped them up — those go on the home/school spelling list for daily practice.
