1. Revision Grids
The last gradebook highlighted issues in terms of people remembering the content covered.
The C boundary on the last gradebook was 13
For everyone but in particular those who got less than 13 on the last gradebook it is important that we start developing some revision materials.
The revision grids include all the content from the specification.
You fill them in using your knowledge, your exercise book

2. Revision Grids
The revision grids include all the content from the specification.
You fill them in using your knowledge, your exercise book, the textbook and internet research.
You can either fill in a copy by hand or you can download a copy off the blog and complete it digitally (typing, cutting and pasting, importing pictures of your work).
Support sessions on Fridays will be concentrating on helping you fill in these grids in preparation for the mock in December.
It is important that you work on these grids outside lessons and keep going over the material to help you remember the content.
