Year 4 Times Tables Test

The multiplication tables check (MTC) is statutory for all year 4 pupils in England.

The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided.

This will take place between Monday 3rd June and Friday 14th June.
