Preparation

(A Message from Mr. Page)

These rehearsal examinations are the first assessment of your levels this year and

therefore are extremely important to your progress in Year 9. The exams that come

first will test you in every subject, apart from your Creative Arts subjects, in which

you have already been tested and if you've not already started, the time to start

preparing for them is NOW!

Year 9 Exams are important

After these exams you will be attending a Parents’ Evening to hear about the

GCSE choices available to you next year. You should therefore be ensuring you

do your best in all subjects, but possibly especially well in the subjects you want

to take next year.

How to use this booklet

STEP 1

Prepare a revision timetable. Use this Revision Guide to list the subjects you will

revise each evening between now and the end of the exams. Then use the Revision

Planner in the back of this booklet to list the exact topics you'll look at each

evening.

Make sure you cover every topic by the exam.

STEP 2

Don't just read your notes; write out in your own words the key points to

remember. Turn them into a picture if possible. Make up rhymes to help things

stick in your mind. Get a friend to test you when you think you're ready.

STEP 3

Tick off each topic in this booklet as you learn it and ensure that you know when

each exam is.

STEP 4

Remember when you go into the exam that you can only do your best. Relax, give

it all you've got and then check your answers through. Don't stop working till the

teacher tells you that the time is up.

ALL the best!

Mr. Page

MATHEMATICS

The Mathematics examination consists of three papers, one non-calculator paper

and two calculator papers. Some questions will assess your basic skills other

questions will assess your understanding and application of the skills

Preparation

To succeed in your Mathematics examination you must prepare carefully. Make

sure you:

Keep your old exercise books so you can refer back to the topics you have

covered. Try correcting your work and reading your notes.

Ask your teacher about any topics you are unsure about, you have a week

before the examination to ask questions.

Use the internet there are some very good websites such as Bite size,

Maths Watch and Active Learn. Logins and passwords are available from

your teacher if you haven’t been using these sites. Remember in the

examination you will have to write out your answers.

Have the correct equipment. In the examination you will not be able to

borrow basic equipment. Check you have a pen, pencil ruler, rubber,

sharpener, protractor, compasses and CALCULATOR. It is no use revising

carefully and then not having the correct equipment to answer the

questions. Staff will not be able to lend equipment.

In the examination make sure you read the question carefully and show your full

working out. Be PRO ACTIVE in your learning.

PHILOSOPHY, THEOLOGY & ETHICS

The Year 9 exam will cover the first module of GCSE teaching ‘Beliefs and

Teachings.’

The exam lasts 1 hour 45 minutes and is made up of the following modules:

The Nature of God

Creation

The Nature of Humanity

The Person of Jesus

Jesus as the Word of God

The Last Days of Jesus’ life

The Nature of Salvation

Life After Death

Evil and Suffering

The Structure of Questions:

a) Style questions will ask you to outline three simple points about a given

topic. Make sure you give three points but they do not have to have

explanation or examples.

b) Style questions will ask you to ‘Explain’ with two reasons. Make sure you

give two reasons and each reason needs example/evidence from what

you have learned or development.

c) Style questions will ask you to ‘Assess’ a topic. You must give three

coherent points, each point needs extended development that shows that

you can deconstruct an argument and refer to different viewpoints.

d) Style questions will ask you to comment on a phrase or quote. These also

need three coherent points and each point needs extended development,

showing that you can deconstruct an argument, referring to more than

one point of view AND you need to add a fourth point that acts as a

conclusion and expresses YOUR point of view. Save some

evidence/example/quote for your conclusion.


Attend ALL revision sessions offered by the PTE department.

Learn key definitions in each topic by creating definition cards and

going through them every day.

Ask your teacher for some practice exam questions.

Revision notes which are short and snappy are essential. Try to use


CPO 28

techniques which are useful for you- try the look/cover/write way of

memorising and create mind maps for each of the topics you need to

revise.

Ask before the exam if you are unclear on any point and need it

explaining again

Make sure you revise each topic in enough depth - you will need to

write in quite some detail (especially in c) and d) questions) if you are

to secure all the marks available

Pay close attention to the detail of the question, make sure you

actually answer what is being asked for.

Revision Tips

Use your notes and homework booklets to make revision notes

Write down definitions e.g. principles of training etc

Try to put a sporting example with everything e.g., a sprinter would need

to consider specificity when training, so he would use interval training to

improve his speed

Try to look at how your own sport fits with everything you have learned

Get someone else to test you regularly. Revise the work you don’t know,

not the work you do

Look at the end of topic tests you have completed to understand the style

of questioning

Ensure you understand the Examiner’s Terms e.g., Describe, Identify,

Explain

Make revision cards and use mind maps to highlight important points

Have a copy of the Specification Content; it tells you what you should

know

PRODUCT DESIGN

The paper will be a past paper so there will be elements of the paper that you

have not yet covered in class. It is important that you get a feel for the entire

paper and how much of the course you have left to cover.

It is advised that you spend your time answering the questions you know the

answers to. Only the questions that cover the topics you have been taught, will

contribute to your overall grade.

It will be 1 hour long so you will not have time to answer all the questions

sufficiently, so focus on the questions you know the answers to.

The topics that you need to revise are below.

You will be tested on all the Science covered so far this year. There are 3 exams,

each of which is 1 hour long.

Most questions will be short answer questions. Read the questions carefully as

you will be asked to complete diagrams, complete graphs and tick boxes. The

number of marks tells you how many different points you need to write (e.g. 2

marks means you have to write two valid points). Answer all questions.

You will need a ruler and calculator for the exam.

Topics to Revise

Biology

1. Cell biology - Cells, Mitosis, Stem cells

2. Organisation - Animal/Plant organs, Transport

3. Infection and response - Pathogens, Immunity, Drugs

Chemistry

1. Atomic structure and the periodic table

2. Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter

3. Quantitative chemistry

2. Energy

Revision Tips

Make sure you learn the key words.

Pay close attention to the command words (describe =say what,

Explain= say why/how)
