Year 11 Mock Exams
6 Nov 2020
Mock exams will commence on the 9th November.
Normally, we offer a workshop in school to help parents understand how you can best support your children with their revision and exam preparation. Unfortunately, due to the current restrictions, these cannot take place. Instead, you may find it useful to watch the parent video (available by clicking here) , and complete some of the activities with your child. (Resources can be found here.)
Use these links to access the resources:
Distraction Questionnaire [WORD]
Distraction Questionnaire [PDF]
Leading up to the exam card sort [PDF]
Revision Timetable {Word]
Revision Timetabe [PDF]
There is also a separate student video, which both parents and students can watch to help reinforce how to revise, which gives them opportunities to practice revision techniques.
