Y11: PREPARING FOR MOCKS 📝📚
Following six tutor time sessions last 1/2 term, students received their ‘Preparing for Core Mock Exams’ booklet.
Summarising all the key points from each session, and key revision tools for each subject.
The importance of Mock Exams 📝📚
Why do we do them? 💭🧠
💡 Students need to understand why they are important & the benefits they have.
Preparing for mocks will allow students to reflect on the revision strategies they use, and how effective they are. 💭
