Key Stage 3 Information and Communication Technology

About KS3 ICT

KS3 ICT at Education Quizzes turns important concepts into quick, engaging practice for Years 7–9. Each 10-question quiz includes instant feedback and helpful hints so students can check understanding, fill knowledge gaps and build confidence lesson by lesson.

The section covers the big building blocks of information and communication technology: what data is and how it’s used, how information can be reliable, valid or biased, and how computers handle input, processing, storage and output. Try topic starters like What is ICT and core skills such as Data and Data Capture, then move on to digital publishing with Web Publishing.

Quizzes are mobile-friendly and ideal for short, regular revision. Use them for homework, catch-up or pre-test checks – and revisit a quiz after a day or two to strengthen recall and long-term memory.
