Summaries for
End-of-Year 11
Examinations
This booklet provides summaries of the subject content to be revised in
each of the subjects for this year’s end-of-year examinations. In some
cases, it will be supplemented by material given out in lessons; in others,
it includes links to department or exam board websites, where additional
support material is provided. We hope that it will be useful for students
and also for parents in providing support.
Year 11 Mathematics

Year 11 English
Language There are two sections to this paper: non-fiction reading and writing.
1. Pay close attention to class discussions of the skills that are required
2. Ensure that practice exercises are completed to the best of your ability
3. Think carefully about the errors you make in practice to ensure that you learn from the experience.
You can practise these skills at home by reading articles from magazines etc and then thinking carefully about them in terms of the exam requirements;
Can you rewrite the content of a couple of paragraphs, reducing the length in terms of words, without losing the meaning?
Can you identify the presentational features in the article and how they work?
Can you identify the tone created and how the writer’s use of language achieves this?
A crucial aspect in completing the writing task successfully is writing accurately in terms of spelling, punctuation and grammar. You can practise this by writing short passages (15-20 minutes) at home and then carefully checking them for accuracy. Literature
1. Animal Farm
reread the text and be sure that you fully understand the story
make sure you have notes on each of the characters, on themes and on the writer’s technique
make sure that you understand how to write TQE / PEE paragraphs. Practise these, remembering to focus on the EXPLANATION as this is where the most marks are.
2. Poetry
make certain that you understand the poems you have done with your teacher.
make certain that you understand the poetic technique and the technical terms used in each poem and how that technique creates meaning / mood / tone.
make sure you understand how to write TQE / PEE paragraphs. Practise these remembering to focus on the EXPLANATION as this is where the most marks are.
International GCSE in English as a Second Language
There are two parts to the internal exam:
1. Reading and Writing
Students will have to:

visual data, such as a diagram or a map.
b. read a text and fill in a form.
c. read a text and take notes to prepare a presentation.
d. read an academic text and write a summary of no more than 100 words.
e. write an informal letter on a given topic.
f. write an article for a student magazine on a given topic.
2. Listening:
Students listen to 10 conversations/interviews/lectures and answer a set of comprehension questions linked to what they hear.
Students are advised to read as widely as possible in the next few weeks. They should review all exercises and assessments completed in class as part of the revision process. This includes all grammar exercises completed in their notebooks and workbooks. Mrs Kennedy is available every day at break and after school.
