In June 2020, the new Year 4 multiplication tables check  became statutory. Each child will need to take a short online test to make sure their times tables knowledge is at the expected level. Children will be asked to answer 25 questions on times tables from 2 to 12. They are given six seconds per question, with three seconds rest between each question, so the test should last less than five minutes. It is expected that questions about the 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 times tables are likely to come up most often, as these are the hardest for most children to learn.
