Which subjects will you be tested in? You will have exams in May in the three core subjects. These are English, Maths and Science.

Why have exams during May? These will help to assess your progress against your end of KS3 targets alongside evidence from in class and other assessments. They will give you the opportunity to experience the kind of examinations that you will sit at GCSE in years 10 and 11.

Why else are they important? The results of these examination will be feedback to you and your parents. They will help staff to decide which group or set you will be in for these subjects next year. They will allow you to practice your revision techniques before those all important GCSE’s.

What type of things will I be tested on in English?

What type of things will I be tested on in Maths? There are two papers to be sat in Maths. These are maths GCSE papers. The content of these will include number, algebra, space, shape and measure and handling data. There will be a link to every topic that they have covered in KS3 (years 7 to 9).

What do I need to do to prepare for these exams? You only have a couple of weeks until these exams start. In order to do well you will need to revise the areas covered on the exams. This needs to be started soon and should be planned out. Revision should be “little and often” from now until the exams start. You should spend 45 minutes maximum on a revision task before have a break.

What should I revise from? Exercise and school books. Revision guides Internet including BBC bitesize or youtube. Old assessments and practice papers. Good Luck!
