Exam: Friday 4th May 2018
How to Revise
Use this booklet for homework Come to after school revision classes Come to the Easter holiday revision class There will be an immersion revision day before the exam Also revise AT HOME. A lot.
What to use to revise:
All the questions from this booklet Past Papers Course Notes
How to use these questions:
1. Try all the questions in this booklet once and check the answers. Ask for help asrequired:
If you are aiming for an A, you should focus mostly on questions marked A/B. If you are aiming for a C, you should mostly avoid the questions marked A/B.
2. Put a star next to all the questions you got wrong or required help (from teachers,friends or the notes) with.
3. Wait a few days and then try the starred questions a second time to see if you can managethem now.
