Year 11 Revision Guide 2016/17 Introduction Dear Pupils This booklet is designed to provide you with the key revision information that you require to achieve success in your Year 11 GCSE mock examinations. The Year 11 mocks are a good indication of where you are right now on the lead up to the summer exams and provide the opportunity to see your strengths and areas to develop in all subjects. This booklet contains a summary of each subject, topics that are being studied and subject specific revision hints and websites. I would like to remind you that mock examinations commence on Tuesday 6th December for Art and on Wednesday 7th December for all other subjects. The mock exams finish on Tuesday 20th December. You will receive a mock examination timetable shortly. There is no study leave but there will be periods of supervised study during the school day. You will be able to discuss mock examination preparations on Mentoring Day on Thursday 24th November 2016. I would advise that you have a revision timetable already in place, using the information in this booklet to guide you. Good luck, and remember that these mock examinations are important, so prepare thoroughly!

Each paper is one hour and thirty minutes in duration. Paper 1 is non-calculator, papers 2 and 3 are calculator allowed. Pupils must bring the following equipment to the examinations:  Pencil  Pen  Pair of compasses  Protractor  Calculator  Ruler  Rubber In the examination pupils may ask for tracing paper. Revision hints and resources  http://mathsbot.com/gcseRevisionGrid  www.MyMaths.co.uk  www.corbettmaths.com  www.hegartymaths.com  The revision guide provided by St Paul’s  Previous assessment and examination papers  The mathematics exercise books Pupils should make good use of the assessment stamps in their exercise books which identify the ‘next steps’ that a pupil should take to make further progress. These should guide the revision process and can be used as a starting point for additional practice. Pupils are able to attend the after school support club on Mondays from 3pm until 4pm in J111. The club is staffed by mathematics teachers: mathematics books and iPads are available for use by pupils. Formulae to Remember The GCSE examination papers no longer provide a formula page; pupils must learn all formulae by heart. Pupils must also learn certain trigonometric values be heart. sin cos tan 0 0 1 0 30 45 1 60 90 1 0 The quadratic formula Circumference of a circle Area of a circle Pythagoras’ Theorem Right-Angled Triangle Trigonometry formulae Sine rule Cosine rule Area of a triangle Area of a trapezium Volume of a prism Compound interest Probability List of Topics Pupils should refer to their exercise books for guidance on which topics to focus their efforts. Below is a list of the main topics covered in the syllabus.
