How to practise exam questions by topic
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
See the method: Spelling and Phonics
Spell the word for the sound in this sentence: 'The children went to catch the b__s to school.' (the word rhymes with 'us' and means more than one large road vehicle)
- Say the word slowly: 'buses'.
- Break it into sounds: b-u-s-e-s.
- Spell the root word first: 'bus'.
- Because 'bus' ends in 's', add '-es' rather than just '-s' to make it easier to say.
- Put the letters together: b-u-s-e-s.
- Final answer: buses.
