Buster Tests is a unique online revision experience. By taking short tests in the various subject you are studying, you will learn your strengths and weaknesses.
That means that you can concentrate your GCSE revision on your weaknesses, practice those particular questions harder and so optimize your revision. Also, as you make mistakes in our tests, we tell you what the right answer was, which allows you to learn from your errors.
Best of all, Buster Tests is entirely free, and because it's online it marks everything for you, which saves you loads of time!

Which GCSE Specification?
Buster Tests tries to cover as many topics within subjects as possible. Because it is a difficult task to cover all examining boards' specifications, I have decided to concentrate on the particular examining boards' specifications that I studied for at GCSE.
It is important to note that, as stated in the revision guide, you should obtain a copy of the specification you are studying for a subject (ask your teacher for details), and then thoroughly ensure you have revised each point. Buster Tests tries to cover as many points within your specifications as possible, but it is always best to tick topics off of your specification when you have revised or tested for them, because you will be able to see what you haven't done.
Buster Tests does not cover every specification for every exam board.
Your's may be different and have extra topics of study. Check.
The following is a list of the specifications used to create and organize the tests. All topics of study may not be included in busterTests:
- Sciences: Edexcel's GCSE in Science: Double Award A (Linear) (1522)
- Mathematics: AQA's GCSE in Mathematics A (3301) for 2005
- AQA A-Level Physics B
- AQA A-Level Chemistry
Specifications are not covered entirely by Buster Tests. This is mainly because some ideas are hard to transfer to Buster Test's format.
