1) Today you are going to have a ‘play’ with the KS3 Online Test. This means you can…

- Try things out

…all without worrying (too much) about how well you are answering the questions. Using Software in this way is often referred to as using it in Sandbox mode.

2) At different points in the test I will stop you all and will have some questions for you relating to the test.

b) How long should you spend on each one?

d) How can you give yourself more space to work in?
