SAM Learning is a revision website
that can help students prepare for SATs, GCSEs and A
Level exams. Students can revise topics or answer practise
questions as well as receive feedback about how well
they are doing. If used regularly, SAM Learning helps
boost test and exam grades.
Learning at home ...
Abagail studying at home with SAM.
"My Dad helped me with one KS3 Science paper
in SAM Learning. Even though we hadn't covered everything
in class because I'm only year 8, I did another exam
paper myself and when I marked it myself, I got a level
7. When I did the exam at school, a lot of the questions
were very similar and I came top of the year, winning
the Science Achievement Award and getting level 7. Using
the SAM Learning method really helped me a lot."
Abagail, 11-year old pupil.
Taking responsibility for own learning ...
"SAM Learning is an excellent way of students
taking some responsibility for their own learning. The
built in system of monitoring their own progress appealed
to staff and students. Our SATs results have improved
this year by 10.46%! and although there is no direct
evidence to relate this to SAM Learning, recent research
suggests that it could be one factor in raising achievement!"
