About the Year 4 check

What is the multiplication tables check (MTC)?

The multiplication tables check is a statutory assessment that every child in state schools in England takes in June of Year 4. It has 25 questions drawn from the 2 to 12 times tables, with 6 seconds to answer each one and a short pause between questions.

Which times tables come up most?

The check draws most heavily on the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables — the ones children find hardest. Our practice check uses the same emphasis, so the questions your child sees here are weighted the way the real check is.

Is there a pass mark?

No. The check is scored out of 25 and there is no official pass mark — schools use it to see which children need more support with recall. That said, fluent recall of all tables to 12 × 12 is the National Curriculum expectation by the end of Year 4.

How should my child prepare?

Little and often beats long sessions: a few minutes a day of timed practice, focused on the specific facts your child is slow or unsure on. Practising in the real format — 6 seconds a question, keyed answers — also removes the surprise of the timer on the day.
