These are UK practice tests (year groups, national curriculum). In the US? Try the US version →
A free Python variables and operators test for Year 7 (ages 11–12): 12 questions, marked instantly – write, fix and predict real code in your browser. No sign-up. This test is for Year 7 (ages 11–12).
Before you start
12 questions on variables, numbers and operators such as // and %, picked from a bank of 36 each time. Some questions ask what a program prints or what a variable holds; some ask you to put lines in order, or to write or fix a short program. When you write or fix code, press Run to try it. It is marked when you move on: your program is run in your browser against the example and some hidden tests. Choose Practice to see the answer after each question, or Test to see your answers at the end.
- 12 questions – a new mix each time you try
- Python runs in your browser – nothing to install
- A keyboard helps for the coding questions
No sign-up and no adverts. Your answers and your code stay on this device. Nothing you type in the test is sent to us – unless you choose to report a problem with a question.
How it is marked: Classfern's own checks, in your browser. Code is run in a locked box against tests, some of them hidden; nothing is marked by a person or by guesswork. Spot a mistake? Use the Report button.

Curriculum: the key stage 3 computing programme of study says pupils should be taught to design, use and evaluate computational abstractions that model the state and behaviour of real-world problems and physical systems; and to use 2 or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems; make appropriate use of data structures [for example, lists, tables or arrays]; design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions.
