Revision for Mocks


Hello Year 11!!!

Hope you are looking forward to your mock exams next week. Remember that your results from these exams will have a big influence on the decision to enter you for Extension or Core level so do not fall into the trap of "I want to see how I do without revising"....why? What does that prove?

One reason that mock exams exist is to encourage you to review your work so that you become more familiar with the topics. It also helps to highlight any areas of difficulty you may have, for example a number of people, having thought through their Biology, realise they don´t quite understand negative feedback..so have asked me for help IN ADVANCE!

I know it is difficult to get through all the revision you have to do (look at the PSHEplus blog for revison and study skills tips) so I have added some links below for you. These include all the Sciences and other subjects as well. Keep an eye out for more links in the next few days to some online games I am preparing on Biology topics and definitions.

These are online lessons but also include study and exam tips. Click on the key stage 4 tab and choose your subject.

http://www.s-cool.co.uk/index.html
another good site with revision notes and tests. You may need to register.

Remember that these sites are designed for GCSE so may include topics not in your IGCSE syllabus and also may omit some topics. So make sure you refere to your syllabus.

2009 Syllabuses can be found below:

Biology

Chemistry

Physics

There are also some past papers with mark schemes available in the syllabus links.

Good luck
