Brilliant. Thank you.

This app is so helpful. Everything in one place for Year 7.
(My son has just doubled his last grade in a few weeks, thanks to you! (From a 5 to a 9.)
We’ll be staying with you over the coming years.

The questions

Hello! I am in y7 myself but as I took a test the answer was wrong but I looked it up and said it was right please fix this

Response from developer

Hi hxghcfy, let me know which answer you think is wrong and I'll have a look at it. What might have happened is that you've chosen an answer that's partly right, rather than a fuller answer that's been offered. If there is a test or exam question that's got two marks available, I've always been keen on getting students to write a fuller answer that gets them that second mark. 100% is always better than 50%! In the mean time, do continue using Review. It really will help.

Good but please fix

Almost all works well and questions are great. However, certain units cannot be completed as images are not showing properly (iPad). For example - series and parallel circuits. Please can you fix? It is worth the full app purchase, however, despite this.

Hi Haz, Im sorry that you've been inconvenienced. Thank you for letting me know - your clear description helped me to sort the issue out straight away. The app should now automatically update itself on your iPad, and there (hopefully!) won't be any further problems. Thanks again for your understanding.

Literally the best

All of the other apps I have found need paying for and don’t actually have questions for my age whereas this is completely free and was definitely designed by someone who knows exactly what type of questions you want. I am In yr7 and I have exams soon and this is a VERY helpful app would definitely reccomend. 😃😃

Amazing

I bought this app for my son who started year 7 . It’s really good , but one thing if there is an option to separate year 7 ,8,9 it will be better at least we know what subjects need to prepare for each year !
I’d really advice parents to buy the full version! Its really helpful

Hi, Roroem1, thanks for your comments - I do appreciate them. Previously the curriculum did have a consistent scheme of work, setting out what should be taught in each year, and it was possible then to easily divide the content into separate years. The current curriculum is only a list of what should be taught. As a result, though year 7 is fairly consistent, different schools teach the curriculum in different orders, often depending on which teachers or textbooks are available. It's no long possibly to usefully divide work up in that way. However, each section of 'Key Stage 3 Science Review' is titled in such a way that it's easy to match it to what's going on in school. One advantage of having the content ordered in the same order as the national curriculum means that even if school doesn't have the time to complete the whole course, it's possible to spot what's missing, and for your children to fill the gaps in, making making sure that they have a solid basis for GCSE.

Very good ❤️✌️😆BUT..

I’m a year seven myself and all the topics we do or we are going to do is on the app! It’s very helpful and it helps as I have many tests( too many), being in a grammar school! 😂 thanks for making this app! Please make a year eight version for when I progress !!!! BUT!!!!
I need help with languages, maths and English .. and more! Hopefully you could make more excellent apps and help me out until I start year 11 and my GCSE’s :( 😆THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!❤️❤️❤️

I'm glad that this year 7 version is working for you. When you're ready, all you need to do is to tap the upgrade button to get a full year 7 to 9 version. It is paid-for, but is still ad-free, still collects no personal data, and is very detailed, covering everything you need to know. I'd love to be able to help with maths and English, but I'm a science teacher, and I think it's best that I stick with what I know! For languages, you could look at Duolingo. My own children have found this app to be useful for preparing for exams; it is free, but does require an email address and does silently pass information on to Facebook. It does involve a lot of typing, but this does get you ready for written exams. If you want to learn to speak a language I don't think that you can beat Pimsleur - when I used this myself before I went to Norway I found myself able to have proper conversations with people, but was unable to write a word of it. : o )

Great app

I use this app every few weeks for my tests and revision - it is honestly so useful and has everything you learn right there ready to take quizzes. I also love that if you don’t understand something it will explain it to you

Quite good but one thing bad

So basically it’s done it with a few things but for one example is this: if you go to chemical reactions -> combustion, a few questions in you get shown a random diagram with flasks and stuff, it dosent tell you what it is exactly and I don’t know, if I tap the help button it dosent help me either, the rest of the app is good but could you write back please

Hi Slender, I can see what you mean. That's a diagram of equipment used to show the products of combustion. When I wrote those panels I had assumed that everyone would have seen this experiment demonstrated in school, and I can see that there isn't enough information for someone who hasn't seen it. The icy water in the beaker makes water from the flame condense into a liquid, turning the cobalt chloride from blue to pink. The limewater in the second test tube turns milky, showing that carbon dioxide is also produced. Water and carbon dioxide are always products formed when hydrocarbons burn. When we next update Year 7 Review I will deal with this, to make it more understandable. Thanks for getting in touch - I'm always grateful for any help to improve Review. : o )

Really useful

I was in year 7 last year and I had end of topic tests and this was honestly the best thing to help me revise! Great app for any KS3 science topic. Really recommend👍🏼

Marvellous

I'm in Y7 and used this app to revise for my science test coming up the following week. It really helped and now I'm a science whizz! 🔬🔭

Enjoy! 🙂
