All you have to do is go on and answer questions as normal, but please try to make sure you are answering at least 40 questions every day so that the test will be complete. We have included a fun ‘Grand Designs’ challenge for you to try as well where you get to design your dream house and then use your maths skills to decorate and furnish it. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
