1 Top Ten Tips Revision Guide
2 Top Ten Tips for the Business Exam 1. Choose the best method of revising that suits you, e.g. mind maps, re-writing notes etc. 2. Create a realistic revision timetable and stick to it. 3. Read the question and the choice of answers before choosing your answer. 4. Always check how many marks the questions worth and as a rough guideline spend that amount of time on the question, e.g. 2 marks = 2 minutes. 5. Read the question a few times so you are sure you understand what the questions asking. 6. Read the paper, and each question, carefully. How many questions do you need to do? Don t be the one who rushes to complete all 10 questions when you only have to answer 2 of them! Also make sure that you answer the question you have been asked, not the question you think you have been asked. We recommend that you read the question at least twice before attempting to answer it. 7. Take a deep breath and begin. Work calmly and methodically through the paper. Start with the questions you find easy, this will help to build up your confidence for the tougher questions. 8. Check the marks for each question, a 5 mark question will need a more in-depth answer than a 2 mark question. 9. If you start to run out of time go through the rest of the paper bullet pointing the key parts of what your answer would have been such as relevant key words, half sentences or formulas. 10. If you finish do not sit twiddling your thumbs use the time to check your paper carefully to see if you can make any improvements. Check you grammar, spelling and punctuation.
3 Top Ten Tips for the Dance Exam 1. Read every question at the start of your exam as this may affect the areas that you answer for each set work. 2. Know your facts about set works e.g. artists, dates, dancers etc, you could lose easy marks if you don t. 3. If you forget your solo or group piece during the exam, keep going because the examiner doesn t know your dances. 4. Read theory questions twice, looking for key words such as identity, describe or explain before answering the question. 5. Ensure that you have a bank of motif descriptions from each set work that can be used as examples within your answers. 6. Be inventive with your use of costume, visual and aural setting, as you need to make your practical pieces stand out. 7. Rehearse work in your own time. Do not rely purely on lessons. 8. Record your practical dance pieces and watch them back for self-evaluation. 9. Watch your set works again in full, as a reminder in the lead up to your theory exam. 10. Performance! If you perform with confidence, this can sometimes mask mistakes made technically, making your work look stronger.
4 Top Ten Tips for the Drama Unit 3 Practical Exam 1. Learn your lines early. 2. Attend all out of lesson rehearsals, and the Easter holidays rehearsal day. 3. Practice performing in front of people (friends/family) to build confidence. They can also help you learn your lines. 4. Think about how you character s voice, body language and facial expression is different to your own. 5. Remember to say in-role when performing, the examiner will only notice mistakes if you come out of role. 6. Try writing your lines out to help you remember them. 7. Why not record yourself saying your lines and listen to them on your MP3 to learn them. 8. Speak slowly, loudly and clearly when performing. 9. Stay calm before the performance, perhaps do a line run or vocal warm up to get focused. 10. Enjoy the performance exam if you are having fun when performing you will feel more confident and be more successful.
5 Top Tips English Exam 1. When revising characters for your English exam, try to build up a range of key quotations which could be used if asked to write about them. 2. Remind yourself of the key themes of the text you are studying: try to link characters and key events from the novel to each one. 3. To practise for your poetry exam, get a copy of poem you have not studied and see how quickly you can identify the key poetic devices it uses. 4. Challenge yourself to summarise the plot of the novel you are studying in 30 words: reduce this to 20, then To practise for the creative writing element of an exam, challenge yourself to bullet-point ideas for a text aimed at three different target audiences: firstly, the elderly, then teenage girls, then mothers with young children. 6. Challenge yourself to write a text which contains a simple sentence, then a compound sentence, then a complex sentence. Repeat this pattern until you have at least 30 sentences.
6 Top Ten Tips for the Graphics Exam 1. Ensure you have the correct equipment (pen, pencil, rubber, and a ruler). 2. Read each question carefully before answering. 3. Ensure any drawings are presented to the best of your ability and include any annotations. 4. Always read through your answers and add more detail if time allows. Never sit doing nothing. 5. Embark on a thorough revision programme. 6. Ensure you know the key words. 7. Seek help from staff if you don t understand anything. 8. Look at Technologystuduent.com and BBC bitesize to help you. 9. Consider using revision Mind Maps. 10. Do not rush take your time when answering. The examiner can only mark what is in front of him/her. Make sure your thoughts are clearly portrayed.
7 Top Ten Tips for the History Exam 1. Explain the meeting of keywords. 2. Spell key works correctly. 3. Explain the reasons for events, rather than simply identifying or describing. 4. Compare the importance of key events or issues to reach a conclusion. 5. In learn from questions, explain what the source suggests or informs, rather than describe the face value of the source. 6. Support any comments made about sources by referring to the sources themselves e.g. put in a brief quote. 7. Refer specifically to the question in your answer. 8. Include as much historical knowledge as possible, including dates, key words and people. 9. For the Medicine and Germany exam, do the last question first. 10. Write about the general topic of the question, even if you are unsure what the question actually means.
8 Top Ten Tips for Maths Exam 1 Make sure you have a black pen (and a spare), a pencil, a ruler, an eraser in a see-through bag and don t forget your calculator, but remove the lid before going into the exam. 2 Go to the toilet before going into the exam room. 3 Make sure you know any formulae that you need for the exam, other formulae are listed inside the front page of the exam paper remember to look for these. 4 Read all the questions carefully and answer what the question asks. Remember to put units on your answers. 5 Check that your calculator is in the correct mode before doing your answers. If unsure check with your Maths teacher before-hand. 6 Make sure you show your working out even if you use your calculator there are marks for working out. 7 If a question says the diagram is not to scale do not try and measure it you will need to calculate the answers. 8 Do any drawings in pencil as you can rub them out if you make a mistake BUT if you are using a pair of compasses to do constructions do not erase any construction lines. 9 Look at how many marks a question is worth to get an idea of how much working you need to do. 10 If you have enough time at the end, check your work by doing the calculations again without looking at your original working.
9 Top Ten Tips for MFL Exam 1. Divide up your time and plan ahead- Make a Revision Planner and organise short, frequent sessions to revise for French. In general, a series of 20/30 minutes followed by 10/15 minute breaks is advisable. 2. Identify your strengths and weaknesses- It is important that you are aware of your own strengths and weaknesses. It is obvious that you should spend more time on the bits that you find difficult than on the bits that you find easy. Unfortunately, most of us are tempted to do the exact opposite! 3. Revise actively-have a pen in your hand, jot down notes on revision cards, make word families or mind maps. This will stop you switching off mentally. Some of us learn best by watching material and YouTube and other providers have a lot of very useful five-minute clips for French, as does GCSE Bitesize for listening clips. 4. Use past exam papers -Look back at any past examination papers or sample papers and make a list of key words that appear regularly, as well as vocabulary you do not know. 5. Get used to hearing French people speaking-you will always be asked to listen to real French speakers in listening examinations, so it might be useful to find commercially produced material to listen to, or simply to watch French films or listen to French radio. Try to listen to the recordings that go with past examination or sample papers, too. 6. Learn families of words with related meanings-learn as many linked words as you can manage. Make your own lists and keep them together so that you can revise them quickly and easily. 7. Become familiar with question types-the more familiar you can become with question types the less there will be for you to panic about when you open your exam paper! 8. Spot references to the past and future-look for ways of identifying whether an activity takes place in the past or future. 9. Learn commonly recurring vocabulary-make lists of different ways of saying that things are positive and negative as opinions play a vital part in many reading texts. 10. Beware of false friends - Take special care with words that look like English words but have a different meaning. For example, travailler is to work, not to travel. Find, list and learn other examples.
10 Top Ten Tips for PE Exam 1. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail! 2. Have you got the correct paper PE or games? 3. Read through the questions carefully and check the amount of marks given. 4. Underline key words in each question. 5. Make notes on a separate piece of paper so you don t forget when you return to the question. 6. Always use a sporting example to support your answer. 7. Answer the questions you know first, remember you can come back to the questions you are unsure of. 8. If time is running out write bullet points for the remaining answers, this will give you some marks. 9. When you finish always read through your answers at least twice to ensure you have not missed anything out, or made any errors! 10. Check your SPAG Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar, there are 5 marks awarded for this!
11 Top Ten Tips for RE/Social Studies Exam 1. Make sure you know where your exam is, and when it starts. 2. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Don t go to your exam with an empty rumbling belly and try to eat healthily. Water is also important! 3. Turn up I plenty of time but don t get sucked in by panicking friends who are still trying to cram in those last few facts and formulas; they will ultimately confuse you and stress you out. 4. Don t forget to turn your phone off and hand it in or leave in a safe place. 5. Read the paper, and each question, carefully. How many questions do you need to do? Don t be the one who rushes to complete all 10 questions when you only have to answer 2 of them! Also make sure that you answer the question you have been asked, not the question you think you have been asked. We recommend that you read the question at least twice before attempting to answer it. 6. Take a deep breath and begin. Work calmly and methodically through the paper. Start with the questions you find easy, this will help to build up your confidence for the tougher questions. Include examples with reasons. 7. Check the marks for each question, a 5 mark question will need a more in-depth answer than a 2 mark question. 8. Use your sources booklet. 9. If you start to run out of time go through the rest of the paper bullet pointing the key parts of what your answer would have been such as relevant key words, half sentences or formulas. 10. If you finish do not sit twiddling your thumbs use the time to check your paper carefully to see if you can make any improvements. Check you grammar, spelling and punctuation.
12 Top Ten Tips for the Resistant Materials Exam 1. Ensure you have the correct equipment (pen, pencil, rubber, and a ruler). 2. Read each question carefully before answering. 3. Ensure any drawings are presented to the best of your ability and include any annotations. 4. Always read through your answers and add more detail if time allows. Never sit doing nothing. 5. Embark on a thorough revision programme. 6. Ensure you know the key words. 7. Seek help from staff if you don t understand anything. 8. Look at Technologystuduent.com and BBC bitesize to help you. 9.
