Exam Structure
Expectations• Bring basic equipment (Pen, pencil, ruler and scientific
calculator).
• Complete all class work to the best of your ability.
• Complete all homework to the best of your ability.
• Use past papers.
• Use a revision guide, workbook and exam practise book.
• Have a positive attitude towards maths.
• Do some revision every night (30 mins max)
• Practise, practise, practise!
Have the correct equipment
Do- Try to complete the questions in the
workbook- Use the revision guide to help where you are
struggling- Use the revision guide to help you with other
pieces of work
Don’t- Spend hours reading and re-reading your
revision guide- Copy notes from the revision guide
Revision Guides & Workbooks
Past PapersDo- Try to complete AT LEAST one paper per week from Christmas- Read the questions, highlighting key information BEFORE
attempting the questions- Attempt the paper without looking at the mark scheme- Mark your paper using the mark scheme once you have
completed it- Use the mark scheme, revision guides and help from the maths
team to do any corrections or attempt the questions you couldn’t do
Don’t- Settle for a grade lower than your target- Forget to improve your paper once you have marked it
Formulae Sheets & PostersDo- Learn the formulae in the formula booklet and the facts
you need to know for each topic- Create flash cards and posters- Ask friends and family to test you regularly- Make sure you know HOW AND WHEN to use each
formula/fact- PRACTISE QUESTIONS USING THE FORMULAE AND
FACTS
Don’t- Be fooled into thinking knowing the formula means you
can answer the question!- Just learn the facts without knowing how to use them
Revision ChecklistDo- Use the checklist to identify your strengths and
weaknesses- Concentrate on revising topics where you are close - Ask for extra help or use revision guides/websites to
learn the topics where your are clueless
Don’t- Ignore the topics where you are close or clueless- Leave everything to the last minute
