A friendly note before you start revising:  Please don't worry about this test! It isn't something you need to feel anxious about, and it won't be used to catch anyone out. We simply want to see what you already remember from your maths learning so far, so we can plan lessons that support you best. Just do your best, show your working, and have a go at every question.

The test is non-calculator, lasts 50 minutes, and is worth 40 marks. Below is a list of the topics covered, taken from across your Year 7 learning, along with what's worth practising for each one.
