My students often are overwhelmed with the thought of preparing for their mock and IGCSE exams. I have reduced the specification to simple points to enable the students to produce notes on each section. To start with, they read through the statements and traffic-light colour code each section to determine areas they really need to focus on. I advise they work through each point, producing summarised notes to support their learning. I have included a QR code to scan which leads to a page describing each specification point. The majority are in note form but there a few videos for trickier topics. Students can successfully build up a series of revision notes and feel confident with their understanding of the course.
