Best KS2 SATs Revision Websites

For a parent who wants something free and printable to put in front of a Year 5 or Year 6 child tonight, Revision Library's own SATs, KS2 maths and KS2 English packs are the closest match: no account, no subscription, and a full mark scheme on every pack so a parent without a teaching background can still check the work. Maths4Everyone is worth adding for its hand-written, worked solutions to individual topic questions, and Twinkl or CGP suit a family after broader primary teaching content or a printed guide rather than SATs practice on its own.

This comparison is published by Revision Library, and Revision Library appears on the list below.

How this list was made

This list compares five KS2 SATs resources on four practical things: whether practice is free, whether it can be printed, whether a full mark scheme is included, and whether an account is required to get it. Every site was checked on 30 August 2026 against Revision Library's own site directory.

Revision Library

Best for free printable practice with mark schemes

The SATs library is built for exactly the evening-before-bed use case: printable papers styled on the real KS1 and KS2 tests, each with a full, itemised mark scheme rather than a bare answer key, and no account to create. The worksheets hub lists every pack on its own page, so a search brings up the specific topic a parent is after rather than a generic download.

For work outside the SATs papers themselves, the KS2 Maths library and KS2 English library are organised by topic rather than by test paper, arithmetic, fractions and place value on the maths side, grammar, punctuation and reading comprehension on the English side, with matching worksheet packs for each. That makes it straightforward to print practice on one weak spot rather than working through a whole paper to reach it.

The SATs topic guides and KS2 maths topic guides go a step further and explain the method behind a question type before a child attempts it, which matters more at this age than it does further up school: a Year 5 or 6 child has often simply never seen a question style before, rather than having forgotten it.

For a final push, the Maths Pack Builder and English Pack Builder let a parent combine several weak topics into one printable pack instead of downloading them one at a time, and the 2027 SATs revision guide sets out roughly when to do what across the year. What none of this does is teach a topic from scratch on video, or cover the wider primary curriculum beyond SATs subjects. A parent who wants either of those is better served by one of the other sites on this list.

Twinkl

Best for broad primary teaching resources

Twinkl is a huge primary-focused teaching-resource library, available on a paid membership, that also publishes GCSE maths worksheets among its wider catalogue.

Twinkl's catalogue reaches well beyond SATs into every primary subject and year group, which suits a family after one resource to cover the whole of primary school rather than SATs practice alone, though full access needs a paid membership and an account.

Maths4Everyone

Best for exam-style question sheets by topic

Maths4Everyone is a free maths resource site covering KS1 to GCSE (with some Edexcel IGCSE past-paper material too), including worksheets, interactive activities and hand-written solutions to past exam questions. An account is optional and only adds tracking, not access.

For parents comparing these five choices, the reason to add Maths4Everyone is its maths-only depth: free worksheet practice from KS1 to GCSE, interactive activities and hand-written worked solutions, with sign-up only for tracking.

BBC Bitesize

Best for broad free coverage across every UK curriculum

BBC Bitesize is the BBC's free revision service, covering GCSE-level subjects in England and the equivalent qualifications in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with revision guides, video, audio and quizzes across a very broad subject range.

Bitesize's strength is breadth across the whole UK curriculum and every nation's exam system, free throughout, though its content is built around GCSE-level subjects rather than a dedicated KS2 SATs section, so it works better as a wider reference than as SATs-specific practice.

CGP

Best for revision guides alongside practice papers

CGP is a UK educational publisher producing revision guides and practice books across the curriculum, including 11+ preparation titles.

CGP's books pair a concise revision guide with matching practice papers across many subjects and key stages, which suits a child who works better from a printed book over several months than from sheets run off a printer; the material is paid rather than a free download.

How to choose

Start with what the school is already doing rather than assuming SATs preparation needs a whole new resource. Most of the heavy lifting for KS2 SATs happens in the classroom, and a parent's most useful role at home is targeted practice on one or two specific weak areas, not a second curriculum running alongside it.

If a child mainly needs to consolidate what has already been taught, free and printable is usually enough. Revision Library's SATs practice and matching KS2 maths and KS2 English worksheets, or Maths4Everyone's topic sheets, cover that without a subscription or a login getting in the way of a quick evening session.

If a family already pays for a broader primary resource, or wants one library covering every subject from Reception through to Year 6 rather than SATs on its own, Twinkl's catalogue is the better fit. A child who prefers reading a printed guide to sheets from a printer is often better served by a CGP book worked through steadily over a few months.

BBC Bitesize is worth keeping bookmarked as a general reference for the wider curriculum, but it is not built specifically around the KS2 SATs test format the way a dedicated worksheet library is, so treat it as a companion to SATs-specific practice rather than a replacement for it.

Whatever the source, keep half an eye on how a child is coping rather than only on the mark out of the total. A confident child doing a modest amount of practice generally does better on the day than an anxious one doing a great deal more.

Frequently asked questions

Are KS2 SATs revision websites free to use?+
Some are and some are not. Revision Library's SATs, KS2 maths and KS2 English packs and Maths4Everyone's worksheets are free with no account needed; Twinkl needs a paid membership for full access, and CGP's guides are paid printed books rather than free downloads.
Do I need to create an account to download SATs practice papers?+
Maths4Everyone can be used without creating an account. Revision Library needs no account or password, though it asks for an email address after a few downloads. Twinkl requires an account and membership to reach its wider catalogue.
What age are KS2 SATs taken at?+
KS2 SATs are sat at the end of Year 6, usually when a child is 10 or 11, covering maths (arithmetic and reasoning) and English reading, grammar, punctuation and spelling.
Should a parent replace school teaching with website practice?+
Generally not. SATs preparation tends to work best as a supplement to what a school is already teaching, targeted practice on a specific weak area rather than a second curriculum run at home.
Which website is best for a child who needs the method explained first?+
Maths4Everyone's hand-written worked solutions and Revision Library's SATs topic guides both explain a question type before asking a child to attempt it, which suits a child meeting a style of question for the first time.
