Quest is designed first and foremost to give schools objective, reliable progress data and rich insights, helping you track attainment, identify gaps early, and avoid surprises at the end of Key Stage 2.
When it comes to SATs, Quest plays a key role in preparation through built-in SATs familiarisation:
- Questions reflect the proportional content coverage and difficulty of past SATs papers.
- Objectives are directly aligned with the KS2 testing frameworks and SATs content domains.
- Diagnostic insights begin from Year 3, with QLAs linked to SATs strands for early intervention.
However, Quest is not intended to replace past SATs papers. The most effective preparation combines Quest’s ongoing diagnostic assessments to track progress and close gaps, with the use of past SATs papers for final-stage exam practice under timed conditions.
