KS2 SATs · 20182018 Reading papers
The reading booklet contains extracts still in copyright, so these link to GOV.UK rather than being hosted here.
Why these are links, not downloads
The 2018 reading booklet contains extracts from books that are still in copyright, together with press photography. The Department for Education is not permitted to license that material on to anyone else, so we link to the official publication instead of hosting a copy. It is the same file, one click further away.

2018 key stage 2 English reading: answer booklet
What this paper set is
One reading booklet and one answer booklet, sat together. 50 marks, sat on the Tuesday of the test week.
A raw mark on its own does not mean very much. It is converted to a scaled score between 80 and 120, where 100 is the expected standard, and the conversion changes every year because the papers differ slightly in difficulty. How KS2 SATs work explains the whole thing, including where to find that year's conversion table.
Other years
Contains material developed by the Standards and Testing Agency for 2018 national curriculum assessments and licensed under Open Government Licence v3.0.
