Getting the most out of Past Paper Questions

· Step 1 = Blue Pen: Exam Conditions
o Complete the questions under exam conditions in Blue Pen. Exam conditions means in a quiet environment away from any disturbances, without looking up anything in your books. Treat it as if this is the real test. Allow yourself 1 mark = 1 minute as a time limit. This step allows you to practice your exam technique but it doesn't teach you anything new. It's important, but not as important as...

· Step 2 = Black Pen: Open Book
o Open your books and review all questions. Make any corrections and additions in Black Pen. The aim here is to get 100%. Still not sure? Use the internet or phone your friends! This step is extremely important because this is how you will learn new stuff and improve your mark so make sure you take your time and do it carefully and thoroughly.

· Step 3 = Red Pen: Mark your work
o Using the mark scheme, mark your work and correct all mistakes in Red Pen. If you've done a really good job of step 2 your corrections should be minimal. Ask your teacher for help if unsure.

· Step 4 = Learn from your mistakes
o All the stuff in Blue Pen that was correct you already know - don't waste any time revising it.
o All the stuff in Black Pen is stuff you understand but can't yet remember. Use active revision techniques such as Q+A flashcards/bullet point notes/mind mapping/etc to help you learn it.
o All the stuff in Red Pen shows problems with your understanding - ask your teacher for help.
