KS3 (Key Stage 3) FAQ at Education Quizzes
Do I need to subscribe?
You can play the free KS3 (Key Stage Three) quizzes on this site as often as you like without ever subscribing - the free quizzes have a green flash on the right hand side of the quiz listing pages. However, there are many advantages to subscribing - see below.
What are the benefits of subscribing?
When you subscribe many more quizzes will become available to you - these are "Greyed out" to non-subscribers in the quiz listings. In addition, when you are subscribed our website will automatically remember and display which quizzes you have played and the scores you achieved. You will also be able to set your own preferences for playing quizzes and report errors.
What is an Individual Subscription and how much does it cost?
What is a School Subscription and how much does it cost?
A School Subscription is paid for by a school and gives full rights to students for a full year. Students can create their own unique Password so that their quiz playing is recorded. School Subscriptions cost the school £4.00 for each student studying Key Stage 3. See details at:
KS3 School Subscription Page
If my school subscribes will I be able to play the quizzes at home?
Yes, your School Subscription will allow you to create your own Password and play the quizzes wherever you want.
Can I print the quizzes?
Yes, you can print all the individual quizzes. Printed quizzes make ideal entertainment on long journeys, family get-togethers and anytime when a computer isn't to hand. And all the time students are consolidating their KS3 learning!
How do I print a quiz?
At the bottom of each interactive quiz you will find a link to "Print" and clicking this will send a message scurrying to our software to construct a print for you. Two printable sheets will then be prepared - one that gives only the questions and the other that gives both questions and answers. You can print either or both as many times as you like.
Are the quizzes copyrighted?
Yes, all our quizzes are subject to copyright restriction but we allow both our Individual Subscribers and School Subscribers to print the quizzes provided that they are reproduced in the exact form that our software generates i.e. every sheet must show the Education Quizzes details at the bottom of the quiz. Use of any of the material without showing the Education Quizzes details is a breach of our copyright. Legal action will be taken against any school that uses the quizzes without paying the necessary annual subscription. After all, we have to make a living!
What information do you need when I subscribe?
How do I find quizzes on a particular subject?
Click on any of the quiz Categories - English, English Spelling, Geography etc. Each quiz Category has a brightly coloured icon beside it. You can find the entire list of KS3 Categories at the bottom of the home page and on the left hand side of all other pages.
How do I select a quiz to play?
When you click on a quiz Category another page will appear that shows the quiz Titles - click "Play" beside any that you want to play. Please note that if you are not subscribed then most quizzes will be "Greyed out" and you will not be able to access these.
What if all the quiz Titles in a Category are not listed?
Often there are so many titles that they do not fit onto one page so click "Next" at the bottom of the list and you will be taken to the next page of Titles. Alternatively, click the button immediately beneath the "Sort By" box that appears at the top of the listings - this will then display all Titles on a single page.
How do I play the quizzes?
You will quickly get the hang of it but there is a "How To Play" paragraph at the top of each list of quizzes.
How do I know which quizzes I have played?
If you are subscribed and logged in then each time you go to a screen that lists quiz Titles, you will see your own personal record for every quiz - Date Played and Score.
How is my score recorded if I abandon a quiz before it is finished?
Your record will show your score at the time the quiz was abandoned.
Can I play a quiz more than once?
Yes, you can play every quiz as many times as you like. Only your most recent score will be recorded.
Why do the individual quizzes have numbers after their title?
This is to allow each quiz to be uniquely identifiable. Most of the time you need not worry about the numbers, instead you can sort the quizzes into whatever order you like by using the "Sort by" box at the top of every list of quizzes.
Can I define a default way in which to play Multiple Choice quizzes?
Yes, if you are subscribed you can go to Your Account>Your Preferences>Multiple Choice Preferences and select either "Correct answers given after each question" or "Incorrectly answered questions re-presented later".
Can I search for quizzes on a particular subject?
Yes, if you are subscribed and logged in then you can enter keywords (like King Henry, or Roads) into the quiz search box - you will find this beneath the main menus on the left hand side of every page except the Home page. Press Go and you will then be provided with a list of all questions that contain the keyword(s). Note that the list is in the form of links that take you to the FIRST question in the quiz containing the keyword.
Can I define where to search for the keywords in my searches?
Yes, if you are subscribed you can go to Your Account>Your Preferences>Search Mode and select either "Titles Only" or "Question and Answers".
How do I use the "Sort by" box at the top of a quiz list?
Click the arrow at the right hand side of the box to reveal a list of options. Click the option you require and the list will automatically be sorted for you.
Can I define a default order for sorting?
Yes, if you are subscribed and logged in you can go to Your Account>Your Preferences>Quiz Listings Order and select whichever option you prefer.
Can I view my performance to date?
Yes, if you are subscribed and logged in you can go to Your Account>Your Performance and see your record.
Can I change my details?
Yes, if you are subscribed and logged in you can go to Your Account>Your details and change the details you require.
How do I find your terms and conditions and your privacy policy?
There are links along the bottom of every page - click the one you require.
Will my details be revealed to anyone else?
No, none of your details will ever be given or sold to any other company.
How do I report an error?
When you are subscribed and logged in you will see a "Report Error" link at the bottom of every quiz and clicking the button will take you to a form on which you can explain the problem.
What do Education Quizzes do when an error has been reported?
We investigate and rectify any reported errors as quickly as we can.
How do I contact Education Quizzes?

Contact Us page for a full list of available options.
Have you got a sitemap?
Yes, if you are a human then you might like to go to
Sitemap for Humans and if you are a robot then you should go to
Sitemap for Robots!
What is the purpose of the Fascinating Facts and Quick Quotes at the bottom of the quizzes?
To make the quizzes easier to play (Less scrolling) in many different browsers we need to have a considerable amount of "Blank" space at the bottom of each quiz. Instead of just leaving the space blank or filling it with advertisements we decided to use it for Fascinating Facts that are useful at KS3 (Key Stage 3). We then had blank space to the left of this and we filled it with quotes that we like! We hope you enjoy both - if you feel strongly one way or the other then please contact us - thanks.
