Learning basic arithmetic in any learned language is hard because you need to perform two skills at the same time, language recall and arithmetic. The exercises range from addition and subtraction up to decem to up to mille.
And then scroll down to the maths section.
I have just retaken two of these tests a couple of years after creating them.
If you want to try the same quizzes go to https://www.moleboroughcollege.org/quizzes and scroll down. Don't be put off by deliberately childish design. By the very nature of testing exceptions, they are hard. But the quizzes do give the answers afterwards.
My result for the first one, exceptions to the first and second declension, and the last, compound pronouns, are below:
