  • My son hates revison. He hates most things! But he did use this website to revise from (ignoring the revision books we had lovingly bought at Smiths). Had his exam yesterday and he grunted that it had gone quite well so thanks lauriew. He has more exams next week (mock and real) so I'll be encouraging him back onto the site.
  • The school we send our kids to does not seem to like setting homework. Nice to have things like this that I can get them to spend some time on every now and then.

    None of the links from the homepage work - even using the advice posted here to 'refresh' constantly. Very frustrating. Maybe this link should be removed?

    I've just tried it before signing my daughter up and it worked fine for me.
    Thanks OP

    Thank you! My daughter is still in Year 8 but is in the top set in all key subjects and frequently complains of being bored & not challenged enough! I've sent her this link so hopefully she'll find something to keep her amused!

    Sounds like your daughter's school (like the vast majority of schools inspected, I am sorry to say) have issues with sufficiently challenging AGT students. Your daughter does not have to be statemented as 'gifted' to qualify as being an Able, Gifted and Talented student. You need to see the Year Manager with a view to getting an appointment with the Head Teacher as a matter of urgency. Go for it, as soon as you can. Schools cannot continue with this half-hearted attitude towards this large group of Students.

    I can't get it to work either but I've emailed them.
  • my son is hooked on timezattack. Which you can download a free version of, it has better graphics then most educational games, and keeps him excited. Also multiplication.com has loads of games for free.
