KS3 Volume & Surface Area Test Paper with Mark Scheme
A complete end-of-topic KS3 volume and surface area assessment for Years 7–9. 15 exam-style questions (39 marks) graded from easy to hard, with stretch questions and a full plain-English mark scheme. Print-ready A4 PDF, 10 pages.
This KS3 Volume & Surface Area test paper is a complete end-of-topic assessment for Years 7 to 9. 15 questions (39 marks) build gently from easier to harder, finishing with a short stretch section for confident mathematicians.
What's covered
Naming 3D shapes and counting faces, edges and vertices, then volume of cubes, cuboids, triangular prisms and cylinders, with cylinder answers in terms of pi. Surface area follows, including from a net. The paper also covers unit conversion, reverse problems such as finding a height from a known volume, and a compound solid made from a cube and a cuboid.
What's included
- A cover page with space for name, class and date
- 15 questions worth 39 marks, graded from easier to harder, finishing with a short stretch section
- Ruled working space under every question, because method marks matter
- A complete mark scheme written in plain English — the working is shown for every multi-step answer, so you can mark with confidence even if maths is a distant memory
The mark scheme starts on its own page, so you can print the test without the answers. One print-ready A4 PDF, 10 pages — it prints cleanly on ordinary A4 at home.
