Five Revision and preparation for A-Level exams

Revisit to subject knowledge from across the course & use of PLC to ensure that students have a good grasp of all aspects of the specification
Use of retrieval quizzes and activities to identify gaps in SK and misconceptions
Support students in developing summary notes, flash cards etc to aid retrieval of key facts
Ensure that students have the necessary skills for effective revision

CPAC
Ensure that CPAC evidence is in place for all students for all required practical work

Six Revision and preparation for A-Level exams

Focus on past exam questions and papers – command words and application of knowledge
Practice the application of knowledge that draws upon the practical aspects of the course
Timed completion of questions to support with pace through the exam paper
SLOP style activities to ensure that all are prepared for the aspects of maths that will be present on the exam papers
