Improve exam performance

Schools are under ever increasing pressure to guide their students to success at GCSE and in the GCSE tests. This practical publication is designed to help hard-pressed teachers to do just that. It offers:

• coverage of key skills and revision and exam technique
• short digestible units addressing key issues
• a subject-independent approach
• a teacher's guide to its use.

Exam Success – KS3 and GCSE is designed to be used as:

• the basis of a course run by tutors
• in sections, eg in the run-up to exams
• a set of self-contained units.

In addition to providing guidance and explanatory material, the pack also contains questionnaires, action planners, checklists and blank forms to involve and direct the user. Key sections are supported by numerous quotes from students. This gives the advice credibility and brings to life both the pitfalls to avoid and the good practice to aspire to.
