Year 11 Practice Exams

The first set of Year 11 practice exams will take place across Weeks 8 and 9, from Monday 19 October to Thursday 5 November. To help students prepare effectively, we have attached a blank copy of the Revision Timetable Template. Printed copies are also available from the Year 11 Office.

When creating a revision timetable, students should:

• Block out commitments, extracurricular activities and planned rest time.

• RAG-rate subjects and topics to identify priority areas for revision.

• Schedule focused revision sessions using the Pomodoro Technique.

For guidance on effective revision planning, take a look at the Study Hacks guide, which provides a short introduction to the Pomodoro Technique. Parents and carers looking for a more detailed explanation can also listen to the relevant podcast on the From the Sidelines website.

Good revision habits established now can make a real difference as students begin preparing for their practice exams and the months ahead.
