My son is technically still in Year 9 but we have already finished his KS3 Science and his KS3 History so I have decided that we will start some of his IGCSE subjects early (Please do not get me wrong I am not rushing him, he has flown through his existing work and he is actually quite ready to start a bit early). We are starting his IGCSE Biology and his IGCSE Physics. But before I really jumped into his IGCSE Physics course with him I wanted to do a quick recap and check his KS3 Physics so I got him the CGP Key Stage Three 10-Minute Physics Test book.

We have used a few of these books over the years and I actually quite like them. They are quick tests which cover everything that the kids should have learnt. So I look at them as a quick way to see if the basics have been understood. These are not exam practice questions (for me that comes later), this is about making sure the kids have understood the basic facts, because you can’t work on longer style exam questions if the basics are not there.

Okay so every test is quick and spread over a double page.

The questions do vary but they are quick questions (no long wordy questions), the book says each test is 10 minutes but honestly my kids often do them in 5 minutes.

This book includes tests on – Energy and Matter, Forces and Motion, Waves, Electricity and Magnetism, The Earth and Beyond and Mixed Questions. Also I want to stress there are answers for all the questions are at the back of the book. I love books which include the answers because at this age my kids can mark their own work and see where they went wrong.

I think this little book is very useful and well priced. In fact I have also bought the IGCSE equivalent of this book to use with my kids.
