Revise the key information for 15 minutes using the sources on the next slide 4. Download an exam paper and find the question about that topic and answer that question without your notes. 5. Improve your answer using your notes/websites. 6. Mark it using the mark scheme. 7. Repeat steps 4-6 with a paper from a different year on the same topic until you are achieving a grade above your target grade. Approximate Grade Boundaries: 0% U 35% D 50% C 60% B 70% A 80% A*

6 GCSE Maths

7 Maths GCSE Edexcel 2 Papers Each 1 hour 45 minutes Paper 1 non-calculator (50%) Paper 2 - calculator (50%) Both papers are out of 100

8 Revision Strategy Keep your PLC updated and target the areas that you know are red first, followed by amber. Use your revision guide to make notes, then answer the questions in your maths book or a separate revision exercise book. Make revision cards of key information and formulae that you need to remember. Look back over past exam papers that you have completed to identify areas where you can improve your knowledge and exam technique.

9 Revision Tools The revision guide and PLC are the best guides for you. You can access videos at or log in to the mathswatch videos at For mathswatch, the centre ID is Queensmead, username is apupil, and password is mathswatch. Make sure you watch videos actively. This means making notes, stopping the video to attempt questions before looking at solutions. Revision Classes: These run every Tues, Wed and Thurs for both Foundation and Higher tier students. Please see information in the maths corridor each week or ask your teachers what sessions are on. Some are general revision and some are specific topic based sessions, so you should use your PLC to identify which you need to go to.

10 GCSE History

11 The Course: History Four papers: Unit 1: Crime (25%) you need subject knowledge and an awareness of change over time to do well here Unit 2: Germany (25%) you need subject knowledge to do well here Unit 3: Protest (25%) you need to be able to use and analyse sources (and have some knowledge) to do well here Unit 4: Controlled Assessment (25%) you have done this

12 Revision Techniques: History To revise knowledge, you need to process the information. This means that your mind has to use the information in some way. - Okay: Reading the information in your book/revision guide - Better: Writing notes or creating your own revision quizzes on the information - Much better: Drawing timelines (annotated in colour if you like), answering practice questions, creating mnemonics (e.g. acronyms like TRAWL) - Best: Use a combination of all of the above

13 DOs and DON Ts: History DO DO NOT Use a variety of revision techniques (see previous slide) Let yourself get bored by using the same revision techniques (e.g. reading through your notes repeatedly) Use other people to motivate you (e.g. get a friend/parent to test you) Set yourself clear targets (e.g. Can you test me on this topic in half an hour? )... this creates pressure on you to actually do the preparation! Be unrealistic (e.g. I m going to memorise all of Germany today. ) Revise little and often (e.g. revise Sub Unit 1.2 on Germany for 15 minutes at a time, then switch to another paper/sub Unit/subject) Revise in large chunks (e.g. I am going to spend the next 5 hours revising Maths ). You won t work for all that time!

14 GCSE Geography

15 Exam Information Controlled Assessment = 25%, Dynamic Planet 25%, People and the Planet 25%, Making Geographical Decisions 25%. Revision sessions are with your individual class teacher... Make sure that you know when they are, and attend every week! You also MUST revise thoroughly at home... Revision in school is not enough!

16 Geography Revision Tips... Make sure you have all your old books... Read through them and create your own revision notes/spider diagrams from them You will be given a revision guide in your lessons. Use the booklets that we filled in at the end of Year 10 to revise... Be honest with your teacher if you have lost them. Plenty of exam questions... Ask your teacher for extra or go on the Edexcel B GCSE Geography website! You can also revise and take the mini quizzes on the GCSE Geography Bitesize Revision website.
