Most Helpful Reviews

SATs Companion

Lou Romans, Headteacher: Good quality resource but a little pricey.
Tamara Leonard, Class Teacher: The one missing score, I wish there was more flexibility for the teacher to set different amounts of questions or block children from accessing certain areas.
Emma, Teacher: My score is not quite a 10, only because I am still getting used to the programme. Some elements of the videos are not presented exactly as we would show our pupils to calculate or solve the problems.
