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: Grammar and Punctuation (KS2)

Rewrite the sentence below, adding a colon in the correct place: 'Ali packed three things for the trip a torch a map and a compass.'

Read the sentence and find where a list follows an introductory statement.
The introductory part is 'Ali packed three things for the trip' and the list is 'a torch, a map and a compass'.
Insert a colon immediately after 'trip' and before the list begins.
Add commas to separate the items in the list: torch, map, compass.
Final answer: Ali packed three things for the trip: a torch, a map and a compass.
