Take a Times Tables Test
Test how accurately and quickly you can recall multiplication facts from the 1 to 12 times tables.
Choose a table, open its timed Speed Test and use your result to find the multiplication facts that need more practice.
Answer accurately first. Faster recall becomes useful once the multiplication facts are already familiar.
Times Tables Speed Tests From 1 to 12
Select the multiplication table you want to test. Each individual lesson includes a Speed Test mode for that table.
Open a table above, then choose its Speed Test mode. If you are still learning that table, use its Practice mode before starting the timed challenge.
What Does a Times Tables Test Measure?
A speed test adds a time constraint to multiplication recall. The result is more useful when you consider accuracy as well as how quickly you answered.
Speed alone does not tell the whole story. Answering quickly while making frequent mistakes suggests that the multiplication facts need more untimed practice.
Aim for reliable answers first. Once the facts are consistently correct, the timed mode can be used to work on faster retrieval.
Are You Ready for a Speed Test?
Timed multiplication is better suited to facts you have already learned than to a table you are seeing for the first time.
You already know most of the multiplication facts in the table and want to check how readily you can retrieve them.
Facts such as 7 × 8 can be answered without starting from 7 × 1 and moving through the entire sequence.
Return to untimed practice if you are choosing answers without being able to calculate or recall the product.
If nearly every answer requires working through several previous multiples, build familiarity before adding time pressure.
Turn Test Mistakes Into Practice
The most useful part of a test is finding the multiplication facts that still interrupt your recall.
1. Notice incorrect answers Identify
2. Notice slow answers too Observe
3. Return to untimed practice Practice
4. Practice the mistakes again Repeat
5. Retake the Speed Test Retest
Can You Recall These Multiplication Facts?
Before opening a timed test, try these mixed multiplication facts without following a table in sequence.
7 × 8 = ? Show answer
8 × 9 = ? Show answer
6 × 12 = ? Show answer
11 × 7 = ? Show answer
12 × 12 = ? Show answer
Times Tables Test, Quiz or Practice?
Each activity has a different role. You do not need to use timed testing when your goal is still to learn a multiplication table.
Use times tables practice when you want to work without test pressure, use strategies and repeat difficult facts.
Use the times tables quiz for mixed multiplication questions and immediate feedback.
Use a Speed Test after practicing a table when you want to add a time constraint to the multiplication questions.
Try times tables games for multiplication activities using matching, missing numbers and other challenges.
Times Tables Test Questions
What is a times tables test?
A times tables test checks your ability to answer multiplication facts accurately. A timed speed test also adds recall speed to the challenge.
How do I take a times tables test here?
Choose one of the 1-to-12 times tables near the top of this page, open its lesson and select the Speed Test mode.
Is a times tables test the same as a quiz?
Not exactly. The quiz mixes multiplication questions to check your knowledge, while the individual Speed Tests add a timed element to a particular times table.
Should a times tables test be timed?
It depends on the goal. Timing is useful when checking recall speed, but learners should first be able to answer the multiplication facts accurately without time pressure.
What should I do if I make many mistakes?
Return to untimed practice and work on the multiplication facts that caused the errors. Take the Speed Test again after those facts become more familiar.
Should I compare my score with other people?
Comparing attempts on the same table can help you see whether your own accuracy and recall are changing over time. Different learners do not need to achieve identical scores or speeds.
What is 7 × 8?
7 × 8 = 56.
What is 12 × 12?
12 × 12 = 144.
