  6. What do I need to do now? Maths is not a “spectator sport” so you actually have to do the maths to revise! This means you need to participate fully in class AND practise questions at home (homework and revision) AND have the correct equipment (including a scientific calculator you know how to use!)

  7. Analysis of performance • Students will receive a personalised analysis of their performance in the mock exam paper. • This will give them an idea of topics they need to focus their revision on – but this will not be a finite list as the exam won’t cover all topics!!

  8. Revise….. • Use your workbook and revision guide. • Complete the exam papers and revision work that you have been given by your teacher. • Including PIXL best guess exam papers.

  9. Revise….. • Use other online revision sites: • www.hegartymaths.com • Follow @revisejustmaths on twitter

  10. Homework and revision help is available in the Maths department on Tuesday to Thursday after school (other days too if you arrange with your teacher) Work through the exercises you have completed in class to check that you understand what you need to do.
