It's that time of the year when school children in Year 6 sit down to take the nerve-racking SATs exam.

Meanwhile parents have spent months telling their children these are the most important tests they will sit, of course until the next ones come along.

But if you had to take the test now, how well do you think you would do?

Well, if you think you know your nouns from your adverbs then why not try this quiz designed for children aged 11.
