Key stage 2 tests: modified test administration guidance (MTAG)

If you are involved in administering the 20252026 key stage 2 (KS2) tests to pupils with hearing or visual impairments, you should prepare by reading:

• the KS2 test administration guidance (TAG)
• this modified test administration guidance (MTAG)

This will ensure that pupils using the modified large print (MLP) or braille versions of the tests, or who have a hearing impairment, can access the tests properly and are not at a disadvantage.

The guidance includes information about:

• planning for the tests
• receiving test materials
• administering the tests
• sending the completed test scripts for marking
