How this book is used in our course
Each test is sat under the clock: two sections of 20 questions. Mark, record, and go back over every wrong answer with the child explaining the rule they missed. The book is built for three passes: the second attempt weeks later proves the rule stuck rather than the answer being remembered, and a cold third pass before the exam proves it is still there.

Twelve mixed tests of everything in Books 1 to 4, and the clock tightens to twelve minutes per section.
Books 1 to 4 gave fifteen minutes for twenty questions. This book gives twelve. Every test still pairs a GL core type with a shape or 3D type, so nothing from Year 4 is left unpractised, but the child now has to be accurate and quick. It is the Year 4 summer check before Year 5 begins.

Twelve minutes per section, strictly.
One test a week over the summer term, two sittings, marked and corrected the same day. The plan says it plainly: keep strictly to the time.

Each fold doubles the layers, so unfold one step at a time, in reverse.
Count the layers: one hole becomes two, then four. Unfold in reverse order, reflecting every hole in each fold line. The finished sheet is symmetrical about every fold. The Watch-out box names the two errors that cost the mark: diagonal folds reflect across the diagonal, and every hole must be the same distance from the fold.

Check each feature separately: shape, shading, number, direction. Two features can follow different rules.
For each feature ask: same along the rows, same down the columns, or one of each? Count to find number patterns. Then combine the answers to build the missing square before looking at the options. The "one of each" rule alone solves a third of matrix questions.

Every answer with its rule.
Twelve tests, 480 questions, every one explained, so the second attempt is on the method that failed, not a guess at a different letter.
All 12 tests in the book follow the pattern shown here.
