How the grade 8 science tests work
The set covers the whole year: atoms and bonding at the start, with “how atoms join to make molecules”, then equations, acidity and fuels, then circuits, forces and waves, and the final test on “fuels, nuclear power, renewables and the climate”. A test mixes short recall with calculations and written explanations, so the 20 marks reward both knowing and reasoning. The mark scheme shows a model answer and the allocation of marks for every question, including the test on “Newton's three laws of motion”, which makes it easy to explain to a student why a mark was lost. Teachers can use single tests after each chapter or combine them for a mock paper. The book follows the order of the grade 8 lessons and worksheets.

Frequently asked questions
Who are the grade 8 science tests for?
They suit readers aged 13 to 14 in grade 8, Year 9 or Class 8, ready to move on to separate physics and chemistry. Teachers, tutors and independent learners can all use them.
How long is a test and how is it marked?
Each test has 8 or 9 questions, totals 20 marks and is planned for 40 or 45 minutes, with a calculator allowed. The mark scheme in Part 2 gives a model answer and the marks for every question, including the test on “resistance and how Ohm linked v, i and r”.
Can I use the tests as a mock paper?
Yes. Pick the chapters your class has covered, from “how atoms join to make molecules” up to the one you want to include, and add the marks. Every test uses the same 20-mark scale, so totals compare fairly.
Is this a subscription?
No. It is one payment of $9.99 through PayPal, with an instant download of the grade 8 science tests on up to 3 devices.
