Build the exam paper

Choose the range of tables, how long the paper runs and how much each question is worth. The sheet prints with a name, date and score box, and the answer key prints on its own page. Note the sheet number in the corner — with the same settings, type it back in to reprint the identical paper.

Table range
Which tables?

Sheet #1000. The same settings and number always produce the same sheet, so you can reprint an identical paper — or press New sheet for fresh problems at the same difficulty.

With the same settings, type the same sheet number to reprint the identical paper.

How to set the paper

  1. 1Pick the range of tables the class has been taught — 2 to 9 is the usual first paper.
  2. 2Choose the length and the time limit. Both print in the masthead, so the paper says what it is.
  3. 3Turn off the trivial facts if ×1 and ×10 are not what you are testing, and leave mixed orders on so answers cannot be read down the column.
  4. 4Download the PDF. The answer key is a separate page, so you can hand out the questions without it.

Every paper is built from the sheet number printed in the top-right corner and the settings it was made with. Choose the same tables, length and options, type that number back into the sheet-number box, and you get the identical paper — same questions, same order — which turns a resit or a lost copy into a one-minute job rather than a new test.

Common questions

Can I print the same test twice?
Yes, and that is what the sheet number in the top-right corner is for. Choose the same tables, number of questions and options, type the number back into the sheet-number box, and you get the identical paper — same questions, same order. A resit or a lost copy becomes a one-minute job instead of a new test.
Which tables should a first test cover?
Two to nine is the usual first paper. The range picker sets both ends, so you can narrow it to whatever the class has actually been taught — a test on the 7s alone is a legitimate use of it.
Should I leave the trivial facts in?
Turn them off if you are testing recall rather than counting. Multiplying by 1 and 10 follows a rule a child can apply without knowing the table, so those questions inflate a score without measuring anything.
Why mix 3 × 7 and 7 × 3?
Because a paper in one fixed order can be answered by reading down the column rather than by recall. Mixing both orders also makes commutativity visible: the same two numbers give the same answer whichever way round they appear.
Does the answer key print with the questions?
It prints on its own page, so you can hand out the questions without it. The sheet also carries name, date and score boxes, and the time limit prints in the masthead, with the paper's total marks when a question is worth more than one — the paper says what it is.

After the paper

Recall up to 9 × 9 gives speed; the soroban method then takes multiplication past the numbers anyone memorises. These are the drills that pick up where the exam stops.
