These

Preparation for Science Sats on line. Instantly marked and
children get instant feedback. Useful for booster sessions (and feedback) in the
run up to SATs. Even the open ended parts are marked on line and a
mark scheme is given. A subscription service (around £100 per school) but
there is a free demo for you to try. This service looks very good.
