I have downloaded a set of Key Stage 2 for my year 4 daughter, to see how she goes.
It is only an assessment year this year for them, but it gives you an insight into what they can do, and it keeps them aware of what these papers look like, and what is expected.
Ok to run through when no homework has been set.

With the exam season only three and a bit months away, it is worth thinking about how to start encouraging a bit of revision. Some students will even be sitting modular exams in about six weeks. It seems that you can spend a fortune trying to kick our kids through to passing exams (hence the huge walls of revision guides in WH Smiths), but there are some things that do not cost any money. I have suggested some below. Does anybody else have any ideas?

Free education websites...

www.what2learn.com - hundreds of free learning games, your child's scores will also be recorded so you can see what they have been doing!
www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ - loads more free stuff
www.s-cool.co.uk - a popular revision website

Get free past exam papers and mark schemes...
You can get these direct from the exam boards - you just have to work out their rather complicated navigation systems...
www.aqa.org.uk
www.edexcel.org.uk
www.ocr.org.uk

Find out what your child's school is providing
Many schools will be running extra revision sessions after school and even in the upcoming half term holidays. Your child may not actually tell you about these! A quick phone call to your child's tutor or head of year may reveal a whole world of additional and FREE support! Bearing in mind that hiring a tutor for an hour costs £30-£50 you would be crazy not to take full advantage of this additional support.

Anybody got any other ideas?

"Ten Top Tips for Revising for Exams" at:

It's aimed at the 6th form or early university level, but might be useful for earlier high school students.

excellent idea for a thread ...

Here's a link for GCSE students

www.skoool.co.uk is for maths and science (luckily not english with that spelling) and is my fav site as it has lots of video clips to watch and then mini tets at the end.
www.bbc.co.uk/revison
http://www.docbrown.info/ for KS3 science and GCSE chemistry

Thanks so much for this thread - my daughter has just saved the sites in her bookmarks - she's doing her KS3 at the moment so these are great!!!!!

Please read the OP's other two posts. I suspect they are claiming to be helpful, when they are in fact selling something. Not quite sure what yet....
