A man who tried a SATS test designed for primary school children is convinced 10-year-old across the country will have beaten him after finding the paper much harder than he expected. Dan Wiggins, who has a A in GCSE maths, says he did Ok at school and none of his exam grades were below a C.
Dan tackled the 23-question mock test printed in the back of an official revision guide. He said: "The questions ranged from simple sums to shape translation, reading a train timetable, and calculating quantities for a cake recipe. Again I smiled to myself as I pictured my own smug grin when bagging 35/35 marks. How could I struggle? What kind of self-respecting adult would get basic sums wrong?"It turns out it took me exactly three questions before I dropped an absolute clanger.
