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


CPO 3

Year 9 Rehearsal Examinations – April 2015

All exams will take place in the hall, unless otherwise indicated.


CPO 4

Arrangements for Students

All Year 9 students will still attend assemblies as normal.

French and German Listening exams are to take place in your usual MFL

rooms.

If your exam begins in tutor time, your tutor will issue your seat number

before bringing you to the hall.

Your exams always begin either during period 1, 3 or period 5 (other than

Thursday morning’s exam!). You should go to your normal lesson first to

get your mark and seat number. Your subject teacher will then bring you to

the hall for the start of the examination. Therefore you should not arrive

without your teacher.

For your Thursday morning exam, your tutor will issue your seat numbers.

They will then bring you to the hall during tutor time for an 8.40am start.

This will allow us to get a more prompt start, as this exam is a little longer

than the others!

You will be brought to the exam hall by your tutor/teacher, in silence. You

will be escorted back to your lesson, at the end of the exam, by your

teacher in silence.

If you are not scheduled to be in exams, you should go to your normal

timetabled lesson.

French listening exams are scheduled during the week for all sets apart

from set 5. The set 5 listening exam will take place on Thursday 26th March

in your usual timetabled lesson.

The German listening exam will take place on Monday 23rd March in your

usual lesson.

The German reading and writing examination will be invigilated by external

invigilators.

French and German speaking exams will take place in one of your usual

timetabled lessons before exam week

No bags, coats or pencil cases should be brought into the Exam Hall.

There is to be no communication in the Exam Hall.

You should use the toilet before exams. Do not ask to use the toilet in

exams (unless you have a medical card which allows you to go).

If there are any arrangements about which you are unsure, please see Mr

C. Potts in Room 244.

GEOGRAPHY

The exam will be 1 hour long with a number of different types of questions, you

will need to answer all the questions on the paper. Some will be short, but other

will be longer and will need you to develop your ideas. You need to pay careful

attention to the mark allocation for each question; this will prompt you to how

much you have to write. Study the command word in the question – think

carefully about what it is asking you to do.

Topics to Revise:

Revision Tips

Read through all the work in your books since September. Work through your

books in more detail and make revision notes to help you remember things.

This works best if you try to limit the number of words you are using and just

record the essential details. Make up your own bullet points, tables,

annotated maps, diagrams and cartoons to show the information.

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

and one calculator.

Preparation

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

sure you have:

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, SAM

Learning and ‘My Maths’. Remember in the examination you will have to

write out your answers.

Exam Content

The Apostle Paul’s Early Life and Worldview.

You should know that as a Jew, Saul (Paul) would have

considered being righteous a matter of circumcision, sacrifice at the

temple on the Day of Atonement, and following the traditions of the

elders alongside the commands of God given to Moses. Such

traditions included the practice of ritual cleanliness (washing in a

religious way before meals) and observance of the Pharisees code of

conduct on the Sabbath (not working in any way).

You should understand St Paul’s Jewish worldview as Saul of

Tarsus and how this led him to become a persecutor of Jesus’


CPO 29

followers. This includes his belief that only those born Jewish and

therefore into God’s covenant people are seen as righteous with

God.

The Apostle Paul’s Later Life and Worldview.

You should know the story of the stoning of Stephen, the

conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus and his journey to

Jerusalem meeting with the apostle Peter and the church of Antioch.

You should also know some of key events on Paul’s three

missionary journeys, including the exorcism and riot at Ephesus, the

saving of the Philippian jailor, and Paul’s speech to the philosophers

of Athens and be able to use these as evidence in your answers.

You should understand Paul’s revelation of ‘Reconciliation with

God.’ Paul understands that everyone Jew and Gentile is separated

from God by our sin, that none of us are righteous and need to be

reconciled by a mediator (Christ, Jesus) with God.

You should understand that Paul’s revelation of ‘Salvation By

Faith’ means that good deeds like circumcision, ritual cleanliness or

even offerings to God will not make us righteous. It is only child-

like faith in Jesus as the Messiah and humble repentance for our

past and present sins that brings assured salvation.


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

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) 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.
