13 Plus Science Revision Notes

The 13 Plus Science exam typically covers subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics, focusing on key concepts taught at the beginning of secondary school in KS3. Parents can support their child by encouraging regular study sessions, providing access to relevant textbooks and online resources, and engaging in discussions about science-related topics. Help your child with hands-on experiments or science projects, and reinforce their understanding by asking questions about what they've learned.

Encourage critical thinking by presenting real-world problems or puzzles related to scientific concepts. Discuss logical reasoning and the scientific method, emphasizing the importance of systematic investigation and analysis. Practice with sample exam questions together and guide them in understanding how to approach different types of problems, especially in areas they find challenging.

Create a quiet and organized study space where your child can focus without distractions. Establish a regular study routine with designated study times. Provide access to study materials, such as textbooks and stationery. Offer positive reinforcement and encouragement, acknowledging their efforts and achievements. Be available to answer questions and provide assistance when needed, and consider hiring a tutor if your child needs additional help in specific areas. Encourage breaks and physical activity to maintain a healthy balance between study and relaxation.
