Multiplication tables check (MTC):

The MTC is an statutory Key Stage 2 online assessment to be taken by pupils at the end of year 4, the purpose of which is to ensure that times tables knowledge is at the expected level. 

  • pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12.
  • for each question there is a 6 second window to input an answer
  • in between each question there is a 3-second rest.
  • questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times table come up more often.
  • questions are generated randomly based on the rules of the MTC.
  • Schools must administer the MTC to all eligible year 4 pupils within the 2-week period in June 2025.
