Y11 Easter Revision
Dear Parents, Carers and Students
Well done for all your hard work so far. Not long to go ...
Over the holidays, you need to plan your time carefully. You must take some time off, but equally it is just as important that you build in time for effective revision. Students all attended one of Michele Miller's workshops in the Autumn Term - remind yourself of her slides here.
Please use the tabs below for guidance on what to revise and where to look for help and support.

Use your revision checklist to RAG rate topics. Use Seneca learning to re-visit topics you have graded an R to help you with content.
Use the ‘Whiteboard’ lessons for content revision (similar to Seneca).
Ensure you practice past papers using the exam technique you have been taught. A reminder of this is in TEAMS > CHS Year 11 Students > Documents > General > 2. Revision resources > Business Studies
Create flashcards for the formulae and practice these with someone at home.
Make sure you know all advantages/disadvantages/ benefits/ drawbacks for each topic we have covered. Most questions will require this knowledge. |

Advice/tips on succeeding in your exam |
- Use/buy your hard copy revision guide - Learn key words - Use/make flash cards to learn definitions - Read the command words on each question to ensure you are writing the correct depth of information. - Apply content into your real life and the sporting or physical activity situations you see and experience. - Practice writing longer answers with a structured template eg. 9 marker is 2 marks for AO1, 3 for AO2 and 5 for AO3. - Learn key subject specific vocabulary and what is means. Iv said this again as it is so important and avoids waffle. |
