Year 13 mocks
Your school or college sets your mock dates, so find yours first. Then work back from them in small pieces.
A little most days goes further than a lot the night before.
First step, right now: write down your mock dates and which papers are on each day.
1. Know what's in each paper
- Ask your teacher which topics each mock paper covers. Mocks don't always cover the whole course.
- Your exam board publishes your specification on its website. Use it as your list of topics.
- Mark each topic: know it, sort of, not yet.
2. Turn "not yet" into small jobs
- One topic is too big. One page of notes is a job.
- Start each session with one small step: "Open my notes on this topic."
- Ten minutes counts.
3. Practise the way you'll be tested
- Your exam board publishes past papers on its website. Ask your teacher which to use.
- Try a question with the time it would get in the exam.
- Check your answer against the mark scheme, or ask your teacher.
4. Rest counts too
Plan days off. A holiday can be a proper rest.
