The test itself
Test month (P7)
Calm, prepared, and knowing the practical details.
What matters now
- Paper 1 is on Saturday 14 November 2026, Paper 2 on Saturday 21 November 2026.
- Still 10 to 15 minutes of questions a day, done happily. The practice papers are done at school.
- Clubs and sport aren't a distraction now: they're an essential way to switch off.
- If your child is getting sick of it, start handing the baton over.
The questions for this stage
- How many papers are there, and how long is each one?
- Is the SEAG test multiple choice? How do the answer sheets work?
- When is the SEAG test this year?
- What happens if my child is ill on test day?
- How many practice papers is too many?
- What if my child only sat one paper?
