Progress
24
Is the evidence biased?

• Research by the independent educational charity
  Fischer Family Trust confirms that as little as
  ten task hours' use of SAM Learning can improve
  performance and attainment. The research was
  based on SAT and GCSE results of 396,812 pupils.

25
Where is the evidence?

• The overall conclusions of these studies
  involving more than 360,000 students are as
  follows
• There is a positive relationship between the use
  of SAM Learning and exam/test results.
• The greatest impact occurs when students
  experience 10 or more task hours using SAM
  Learning.

The Future Bebo for Revision?
I am a 16-year-old GCSE student, studying
history, and, quite frankly, struggling. Im
predicted an A, but Im likely to get a C
because I never had the motivation or means to
revise well.Until now.I have come up with a
free revision programme, targeted at AQA
Specification B, but with aspects of all exam
specifications, here on Bebo, because this is
where I used to end up when I was supposed to be
revising.
