Less than 24 hours to go

Hi to you all

There is just a little time to go before tomorrow's AS exams. I hope that you have done your last minute preparation and that you are going to get a good night's sleep before this important day. Some last minute advice:
  • read the full question!
  • give yourself a few minutes of planning time at the beginning of the exam - check out which questions you can answer best
  • stick to the time - 6 minutes for 6 mark questions and 18 minutes for the essays
  • Plan your essays in the answer booklet - only cross out when you are finished
  • read your answers - if they don't make sense to you, the examiner hasn't got a hope!
  • Check you follow the instructions and answer the right number of questions
  • get the balance of A01 and A02 in your essays - 1/3 A01, 2/3 A02
  • Make sure the examiner knows when you are evaluating - use connectives
  • Use the names of the researchers wherever you can - it is very convincing
  • Don't waffle

I hope you have prepared properly and I wish you all the luck and the results you deserve.

See you on the 10th June

Ms M
