Our Multiplication Tables Check follows the exact specification as laid out in the KS2 National Curriculum Assessments published by the Standards & Testing Agency. There will be 25 questions with 6 seconds to answer and with a 3 second gap between questions. We also follow the exact specification on the minimum and maximum number of questions taken from each times table. We have designed this check to allow children to become familiar with the layout and timing so they can gain confidence before taking the real check. They will also be able to find the quickest way of inputting answers and even try it on different devices. Now we come to the important bit: the beauty of our check is that there is a detailed answer sheet which is printable and shows exactly which tables are known.

Explore Learning's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 21 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
