start here, your first stop

this link takes you straight to the aqa site and the latest updated past papers (and mark schemes). march 2007 now included. why not try a few for your revision. tests next week!

this link goes straight to the aqa page for science modular tests commencing in 2006. all the answer sheets and mark schemes are available too. can be slow during the day (aqa very busy) but definitely works, just tried it 7pm.

to access these resources you must have adobe acrobat installed on your machine. most computers will already have it, but if you haven’t got it then download from here.

any access problems then let me know using the comments button at the top of this post.

here’s C1b and here are the links to the other subjects (physics P1a and P1b and biology B1a and B1b)

answers are given at the end of each pdf file.

here’s a couple of links to previous papers and their mark schemes: these are the higher papers from june 2005 (mark scheme here) and the paper from january 2005 (its mark scheme is here). look them up, have a go, mark your own then try more!

with now less than one week to go to the science sats, it’s time to take some quick tests to brush up on your knowledge. the best place to go on-line is the bbc bitesize ks3 page, where you can test your knowledge in all three sciences and download your own revision checklist. don’t forget that you will be tested on everything you’ve done since year 7 (the whole of key stage 3), not just year 9!
