Year 11 Preparing for success

Purpose of this evening:

 Revision – getting it right.  An opportunity to listen to advice and guidance from our Curriculum Team Leaders for English, Maths and Science

Mr B Golledge Science

What not to do….

Can't revise so wanted to find out why.. so recorded a typical 30min period to see why! - The open a4 file pad is where the revision was meant to happen......

Preparing for Success in Science

All students regardless of pathway (Combined or Triple science) will take 6 papers, two in Biology two in Chemistry and two in Physics. All exams for Combined science students are 1hr 15min and they are 1h 45 minutes for triple science students.

GCSEs

The papers are on: Biology paper 1: 14 May 2019 Chemistry paper 1: 16 May 2019 Physics Paper 1: 22 May 2019 Biology paper 2: 07 June 2019 Chemistry paper 2: 12 June 2019 Physics Paper 2: 14 June 2019

Dates

There is a minimum requirement for maths based questions in each paper:

• 10% in Biology
• 20% in chemistry
• 30% in Physics

In addition a minimum of 15% of each paper must be based on a series of Core practicals (more on these later)

Content

Revision Guides

Revision guides. Are still available through the school payment system online. Have all the key content. Students should be practicing the questions at the end of each unit. There are answers to check in the back of the books

1. Students will be making their own in Masterclasses 2. The best are posed as questions on one side with the answers on the back. 3. There are good commercial versions available, but there is real value in the students using their notes/ revision guides to make their own

Flash cards

What would you do to get ready for a marathon? What should you do to get ready for an exam?

The best preparation You would RUN!!!

Practicing the activity you have to do in the GCSE is critical. There is no better revision than practicing past papers.

Memorise quotes using the Read, Cover, Write, Check method. Spend 20 minutes on this. To aid your memory, design a small doodle or icon that represents the group of quotes. It may help your recall when you are in the exam if you jot the doodle down on paper. Write a paragraph consolidating what you have learnt. This should be between 8-10 lines and include a topic/point/argument sentence, at least 2 pieces of evidence, techniques or device terminology and analysis. You should spend no more than 15 minutes on this. Time yourself. Identify 5 points you would make in response to a question. Give yourself no more than 10 minutes to do this. Go back, check your text, add additional points if needed. Re-read and clean annotate (annotate on a clean copy of the text). Give yourself 10 minutes to do this. Go back and check your class book or texts, add additional points if needed.
