JCQ Advance Information Student Guide
RAG Rating Explained
This booklet contains advance information published by a range of exam boards. Each exam board and subject area has published information in different formats. The school have added a range of RAG rating tables to each publication (where possible). These are intended to support students throughout their revision. Red = a subject that I know little about and need to complete a significant amount of revision around Amber = a subject that I know about, but need to focus on in order to be confident in my examinations Green = a subject in which I know a lot about and am confident in answering high mark questions We recommend that students start by assessing their own knowledge and completing the tables relevant to their subject choices. This will give them an overview in where their strengths lie and any gaps in knowledge. Using the RAG table, students can then prioritise their revision to ensure that they get to a point where all of the Green columns are ticked meaning they are fully prepared for their examinations.
