Year 8 exam format
The year 8 exam will be in the style of the SATs paper that you will sit next year and so questions will be phrased as questions are in those papers and the layout will be of a similar style to the SATs.
SATs are a test you take at the end of year 9 to test everything that you´ve learnt.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you take a look at some past SATs papers and try to do the questions relevant to the topics you should be studying, which are Rocks and Weathering and Heating and Cooling.
Past official SATs papers can be found on http://www.satspapers.co.uk/

Year 10 - Physics end of year Exam
Year 10 you should ensure that you study the following subjects in detail:
You may find it useful to make a copy of the checklists at the end of each chapter and tick the items that you know, as well as taking the examination questions at the end of each chapter if you haven't already done so. Feel free to write the answers in your physics exercise books.
If you need to gain a little more confidence and get some more practice of real exam papers, try the past exam papers on the Cambridge IGCSE site. Questions you will get will be taken from Paper 1 (Multiple Choice), Paper 2 (Core longer answer), Paper 3 (Extended longer answer) and Paper 6 (Alternative to practical) so you may want to download the relevant papers from 2005 on the CIE site and familiarise yourself with what they look like.
Another good resource for you to use is the Cambridge Student site, which has some further past papers and tips, along with model answers, games and checklists. The Checklist is actually very good, so well worth downloading and printing out
BBC Bitesize is perhaps not detailed enough at your level but has some good tests and some easily accesible revision notes, so you may want to check that out too
Another site I haven't looked too closely at is crampuppy, that has a few past papers on it and some revision notes and for past GCSE papers (not IGCSE papers) try the paper bank
Remember, that if you do the work and see many past papers and do the questions, the chances are that the questions will come up. There are only a limited number of questions that you can be asked, so the more you do the more likely you are to be able to do well! Practice makes perfect!
- Chapter 4 - Forces and Energy - Pages 71-88
- Chapter 5 - Thermal Effects - Pages 97-115
- Chapter 6 - Waves, Sounds and Vibrations - Pages 123-137

Year 9 - End of Year SAT exam
Year 9
You will be tested on everything that you have learnt in science up to now.
You will have started practice papers in class to help you to get more confident in these types of papers. There is a lot of material to get in.
To ensure that you gain more confidence in these papers I would strongly recommend that you download the past SAT Science papers from this site. On this site they have genuine past papers that you can download for free and practice for yourself. They also include the markschemes so that you can see what the examiner will give you marks for.
I would also recommend BBC Bitesize to help you revise.
The SATS Paper site also has past papers in English and Maths, so if you need to get more practice at these then get these papers too.
Practice makes perfect!
