Three toughest questions from SATs paper that left children in tears

The test paper that left children in tears last week because it was so difficult has been revealed, with adults saying even they had to think about the right answers. There have been complaints about the Year 6 reading paper which children aged 10 and 11 had to sit last week.

One question asked children to find a similar word to "eat" in a section of text that contained both the words "consume" and "feeding", reports the BBC.

Parents and teachers have said some children were unable to finish the test because it was so long and complicated. Children had an hour to answer 38 questions about three pieces of text.
