I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the GCSE Combined Science Edexcel Knowledge Retriever - Foundation

If your Year 10 or Year 11 student is working through the GCSE Edexcel Combined Science Foundation course, the GCSE Combined Science Edexcel Knowledge Retriever – Foundation is designed to turn passive reading into active recall. This workbook pairs perfectly with the CGP Knowledge Organiser, giving your child a clear, two-stage retrieval system that embeds Biology, Chemistry and Physics facts into long-term memory—exactly the foundation they need to approach exam questions with confidence.

The Knowledge Retriever works by presenting two levels of challenge for every topic. Once your child has studied a section in the Knowledge Organiser, they fill in the first retrieval test from memory, identifying gaps as they go. A second, tougher test then pushes recall further, ensuring even the trickiest details stick. Mixed practice quizzes at the end of each section bring everything together, so your child can check their understanding across different topic areas before exam day. It's a straightforward, scaffolded approach that builds both knowledge and exam confidence step by step.

Because the Retriever mirrors the structure of the Knowledge Organiser, your child knows exactly where to focus when revision feels overwhelming. Regular retrieval practice has been shown to strengthen recall far more effectively than re-reading notes, so this workbook transforms study time into genuine progress. Designed for the Grade 9–1 Edexcel specification (sometimes called Double Award Science), it ensures every core practical, equation and key concept is rehearsed until it becomes second nature. The result? A calmer, better-prepared student who walks into the exam hall ready to demonstrate what they know.

This physical workbook is ideal for Foundation-tier students who benefit from writing by hand and seeing their progress on paper. It suits independent learners as well as those who prefer a little structure from a parent or tutor. When used alongside the matching Knowledge Organiser, it creates a complete, exam-focused revision system that takes the guesswork out of what to study next—and helps your child retain what matters most.

  • Two-stage retrieval tests for every topic, plus mixed practice quizzes to consolidate learning across Biology, Chemistry and Physics
  • Aligned with the Grade 9–1 Edexcel Combined Science (Foundation) specification for Years 10–11
  • Pairs with the CGP Knowledge Organiser (available separately or as a money-saving bundle) for a complete revision system
  • Encourages active recall, proven to improve long-term retention and exam performance
  • Physical workbook format perfect for hands-on, screen-free revision at home
