Year 11 Mock Exams November 2020 How should I use this revision list? Use this revision list to identify the topics that will be on each of your mock exams in November. All subjects are covered here, so you need to pick out the subjects you study from this list. You should highlight the topics for your subjects into confidence levels – red [not confident], amber [slightly confident], and green [confident]. You should then create your revision timetable using this list, starting with your red and amber topic areas. Review your revision plan regularly and make sure you cover each of your subjects. For each subject there are suggested sources of information for home study that your teachers have recommended you use. Make sure you are using active revision strategies like mind mapping, revision cards and testing yourself.
