(6) Taking the GCSE Maths exam

The point of revision is to prepare for the actual exam. The exam is worth 80% of the marks. There is a calculator and a non-calculator paper and exam technique plays an important part in the exam. Basically the exam is an opportunity to 'show off' everything you have learned over your GCSE Maths course. You will not be asked any ?˜trick??questions, but you will need to think carefully.

The most common mistake is to lose marks carelessly. Too many students make mistakes when they do actually know what to do ??precision is everything, making sure you show all your steps. The next most common mistake is not knowing the most common different types of question that could be asked.

OUR ADVICE: Find out the most common topics that are examined and then all the different types of exam question that could be asked.

CONCLUSION:

Our advice is to try and stay on top of the work as much as possible throughout the ?˜year?? Try to be as organised as possible. It is a marathon rather than a sprint, but if you do fall behind do try and find a fast revision method so that you can maximise whatever revision time you have left.
