GCSE exam

Remember, i am free to help you tomorrow lunchtime, as well as tomorrow after school!

Your exam is Friday pm. Please bring in a calculator.

top tips -
the first 20 questions will be short answer multiple choice – if you want an A you should be maximising on these. From then on you will get 4 and 6 mark questions. You MUST explain your answers not just list the answer. Longer questions require a structure. The most important part of this is to make sure you explain BOTH sides of the argument, just positives or just negatives will not give you the top marks. Take your time to expand on your answers and conclude.

Good luck one and all!

Remember to take your time, re-read your answers and check you have answered the question to the best of your ability, expanding your answer by looking at the marks available.
