First, revise with the fractions: thirds, quarters and halves lesson and the worksheet. Then sit the test in one go, with a timer set to 30 minutes. After that, mark your work with the fractions: thirds, quarters and halves test answers. If you lose marks on a question, redo it the next day without help.

Finally, you can download this Year 2 fractions test as a PDF and print it like a real exam paper. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.

To sum up, regular practice works better than one long session. For instance, ten minutes a day is often enough. Besides, mistakes are useful, because they show what to revise next. Then, once a method feels easy, try a harder question. As a result, you build confidence step by step.
