This is a revision booklet that I use with my GCSE students. It is 18 pages long and covers all of the content and skills that they need to know for the exam. I have attached a PDF booklet in case it does not open correctly on your computer.
The booklet contains:
Tick list content
Exam layout/ Exam structure grids
Content the students need to revise
Some basic activities
NOP reliability grids
The students have really responded well to this resource and have used it instead of taking home textbooks.
I actually use this as a 3 exam revision guide, but thought I would sell separately, as other schools may not do all of the same exams as my school. If you would like the whole exam booklet do not hesitate to contact.
