KS3 ICT Test Preparation


The new KS3 ICT tests require pupils to work with unfamiliar application environments. To help them prepare there are a few on-line (free) spreadsheets, wordprocessors and database applications they can use:

Zoho Creator - On-line database application

Google Spreadsheets and Docs - On-line spreadsheet and wordprocessor applications (Formerly Writely)

All the above allow users to upload existing files and edit them within the new environment.
