How to practise exam questions by topic

  1. Choose the topic that cost marks in classwork or a past paper. Try the questions without notes so the first attempt shows what the student can actually recall.
  2. Use the mark scheme to compare the method as well as the final answer. For written subjects, check that each credited point is stated clearly; for calculations, identify the first step that went wrong.
  3. Revisit the same topic after a gap, then mix it into a full paper. Topic practice repairs one weakness at a time, while a timed paper checks whether the method can still be recognised among other questions.

A sequence of shapes is described below. Shape 1: an arrow pointing North with 1 short tail line. Shape 2: an arrow pointing East with 2 short tail lines. Shape 3: an arrow pointing South with 3 short tail lines. What does Shape 4 look like?

  1. Track the arrow's direction separately from the number of tail lines.
  2. Direction: North, East, South - each step is a 90-degree clockwise turn, so Shape 4 points West.
  3. Tail lines: 1, 2, 3 - each step adds one more line, so Shape 4 has 4 tail lines.
  4. Check the rule against the earlier shapes: North to East is a 90-degree clockwise turn, and 1 to 2 is plus 1 line, confirming the pattern.
  5. Final answer: Shape 4 is an arrow pointing West with 4 short tail lines.
