Exam Timetable:
Timetable – Plan how you’ll fit your revision sessions into your
week.
Chunking – most people are at their best for about 30 minutes, so
split your revision into 30 minute chunks. Take a break between
sessions when you get up, walk about, have a drink, relax.
Get Organised – Set up a place at home with all of your revision
materials laid out to hand; post it notes, highlighters, pens and
pencils, revision guides at the ready.
Remember—Making a plan is not revision, it is organisation, you
need to follow through with the hard work that will prepare you
for exam success.
Key Revision Messages.
Revision is a process of going back over and reviewing the things
you have learned to help you to understand and remember them
more effectively.
Effective revision requires a plan to make sure you are making time
for all of your subjects and themes. Later in this booklet there is a
timetable you can fill in to help to plan your revision.
We are all individuals and we have different learning strengths and
styles. All students benefit from reviewing, revising and practising
their prior learning.
It’s important to balance the hard work you put into your revision
with time to relax, with a healthy diet and with adequate sleep;
looking after your wellbeing will help you to be at your best in the
exam.
ENGLISH: Monday 11 June (all students)
The exam is one hour long
Topics to be covered:
Literature Paper 1, Section A, Shakespeare: Macbeth
Macbeth will be studied by the whole year group over the next term.
Students will look at key scenes and learn quotes and analyse the effect of language and how Shakespeare’s life influenced the play’s themes.
In the end-of-year exam, there will be a choice of two questions. Students, on the whole, will be told which question to respond to, although higher sets will be given more freedom to choose.
Students will need to learn quotes from the play as they explore it in class.
Revision materials will be sent home via SMHW and in students’
exercise books.
SCIENCE: Tuesday 12 June (all students)
The exam is one hour long
Topics to be covered:
Year 9 Transition Biology
Year 9 Transition Chemistry
Year 9 Transition Physics
Students are now studying the first part of their GCSE science
course, as such there will be little class time devoted to revision for
the end-of-year exam. The emphasis is on the students to revise for
their exam independently, in homework time and more on top.
MATHS: Wednesday 13 June and Monday 18 June (all students)
You will sit two maths exams
Paper 1: Non-Calculator: one hour long
Paper 2: Calculator allowed: one hour long
To prepare for your maths exam you should:
Use the relevant revision list to find out what topics you will be as-
sessed on.
Prioritise those topics you feel less confident on. Watch the Corbett-
maths video and make revision notes in your book.
Try some of the practice questions. You can either do these in your
exercise book or print them out. Do a mixture of questions (not
just the first few) and make sure to include some problem-solving
style questions.
Mark your work. You can get the answers by pressing the ‘Click here
for answers’ tab.
