KS3 Test Preparation Booklet 1
You will have two SAT style papers during the week
beginning 28th April 2014. You may be asked questions
on any of the topics you have learned about in Y7, 8
and 9. Use this booklet to help you prepare.
The following website will really help you answer those
tricky questions: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/science/
