Best SAT Prep Apps: 2026 Comparison
Best SAT Prep Apps: 2026 Comparison The Digital SAT is now fully established. It is shorter than the old paper test, adaptive in format (your second module's difficulty depends on your first module's performance), and built around an on-screen Desmos calculator throughout the Math section. Any resource still built around the old paper SAT format is preparing you for the wrong test. This guide compares what's actually worth using in 2026, starting with Myedupady's own SAT resources.
How to revise for JAMB in 3 months
Three months isn't a lot of time to prepare for the UTME but it's enough if you use it deliberately. This guide breaks the countdown into three focused phases: syllabus coverage and diagnostic practice, heavy past-question drilling, and full timed mock exams, so nothing is wasted on re-reading notes instead of building real exam speed.
Understanding Clauses: Main, Subordinate and Relative Clauses.
Clauses are an important part of English grammar. Understanding how clauses work can help children write clearer sentences, avoid common grammatical mistakes, and build more complex sentences in schoolwork and exams.
GCSE Maths: How to get a grade 9.
How to get a grade 9 in GCSE Maths: proven grade 9 strategies, exam technique, past paper approach, and common mistakes to avoid.
GCSE Maths Revision: The Complete Guide
If you've typed "how to revise for GCSE Maths" into your favourite web browswer at 11pm with a mock exam looming, you're not alone. Every year, thousands of students search for GCSE Maths revision tips in the final months before their exams and most of them are making the same three or four mistakes without realising it.
Why Last-Minute Revision Fails Most Students

How to Build an Effective 11+ Study Routine at Home
Preparing for the 11+ doesn’t have to mean hours of studying every day. A well-structured routine can help your child stay focused, build confidence, and make steady progress. Discover simple, practical ways to create an effective 11+ study routine at home. A balanced 11+ routine supports steady progress without unnecessary pressure, and daily reading, focused practice and regular revision can make preparation more effective while leaving time for rest and family life.
Reproduction in Plants
Plants can't walk, talk, or search for a mate — so how do they reproduce? The answer is a fascinating set of strategies involving flowers, pollinators, wind, water, and even explosions. This guide covers everything you need: flower structure, pollination, fertilisation, seed and fruit formation, seed dispersal, and asexual reproduction in plants — all explained clearly, with diagrams and real examples.
Reproduction, Variation & Inheritance
Why do siblings look alike but not identical? Why does one sunflower grow taller than another, even from the same packet of seeds? Why do some genetic conditions run in families while others don't? The answers all connect back to three linked ideas in biology: reproduction, variation, and inheritance. This guide covers all three in detail, with diagrams and real examples to help the ideas stick — building on what you learned about the human reproductive system and menstrual cycle and cells. By the end of this post, you'll be able to: explain how reproduction leads to variation between offspring, describe the difference between continuous and discontinuous variation, and their causes, explain how scientists use twin studies to separate genetic from environmental causes, understand how genes, DNA, and chromosomes relate to each other, explain the difference between genotype and phenotype, explain how sex chromosomes determine whether a baby is male or female, understand mutation as a source of variation, use a Punnett square to predict inheritance, including for a real inherited condition, explain how humans use selective breeding to influence inheritance in other species.
Reproduction, the Human Reproductive System & the Menstrual Cycle
Reproduction is one of the most important life processes —it's how living things produce new individuals of the same species, so that life continues from one generation to the next. In this guide, we'll cover what you need to know for Year 7 science: reproduction in general, the human reproductive system (male and female), and the menstrual cycle — all explained clearly, with diagrams, so it's easy to revise and remember. This is a factual, science-based topic, and it's completely normal to feel a bit awkward learning about it for the first time — that's true for almost every student. Read it the same way you would any other body system, like the digestive or circulatory system. By the end of this post, you'll be able to: Explain what reproduction is and name the two types, label and describe the main organs of the male and female reproductive systems, describe the four stages of the menstrual cycle and answer 15 practice questions to check your understanding.
Cells, Unicellular Organisms & Levels of Organisation
If you've ever wondered what living things are actually made of, the answer starts with one tiny building block: the cell. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about cells, unicellular organisms, and the levels of organisation in living things. By the end of this post, you'll be able to: Explain what a cell is and why all living things are made of cells, compare unicellular (single-celled) and multicellular (many-celled) organisms, describe the levels of organisation and answer 15 practice questions to test your understanding
SAT MATHEMATICS TEST PAPER II (REASONING)
This paper mirrors the real KS2 Reasoning paper — word problems and multi-step questions across number, measurement, geometry, ratio, algebra, and statistics. Work out your answer on paper first, then select from the four choices.
SAT MATHEMATICS TEST PAPER I (ARITHMETIC)
This paper follows the exact format of the real KS2 SATs Arithmetic paper: straight calculations only, with no worded context, arranged in order of increasing difficulty across addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, and order of operations. As this edition is completed online, each question carries four answer choices instead of a blank working space. Encourage your child to complete the paper without a calculator, working out each calculation on paper before selecting an answer.
Photosynthesis: The Equation, Limiting Factors and Leaf Structure
Every meal you have ever eaten traces back to photosynthesis — the process by which plants convert light energy into glucose and oxygen. This complete guide covers the word and symbol equations for photosynthesis, the internal structure of a leaf and the function of every layer, the three limiting factors (light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature) and how they interact, the classic pondweed experiment, a comparison of photosynthesis and respiration, common mistakes to avoid, answers to frequently asked questions, and a 10-question multiple choice quiz with answers and explanations to test your understanding.
Physical and Chemical Changes
Every day, matter around you is changing — ice melts, paper tears, bread toasts, iron rusts. But not all changes are the same. Some changes are physical, and some are chemical — and knowing which is which is one of the most important foundations in KS3 and GCSE Science. This guide breaks down the difference clearly, with real examples and a free practice quiz at the end.
