Interactive Revision and Tests + Feedback on Progress
Is the evidence biased?

Research by the independent educational
charity Fischer Family Trust confirms that
as little as ten task hours' use of SAM
Learning can improve performance and
attainment. The research was based on
SAT and GCSE results of 396,812 pupils.
Where is the evidence?



The overall conclusions of these studies
involving more than 360,000 students are as
follows:
There is a positive relationship between the use
of SAM Learning and exam/test results.
The greatest impact occurs when students
experience 10 or more task hours using SAM
Learning.

The Future: Bebo for Revision?
I am a 16-year-old GCSE student, studying history, and, quite frankly,
struggling. I’m predicted an A*, but I’m likely to get a C because I never
had the motivation or means to revise well.
Until now.
I have come up with a free revision programme, targeted at AQA
Specification B, but with aspects of all exam specifications, here on
Bebo, because this is where I used to end up when I was supposed to
be revising.
