Our Model

During your revision course you will work on the key areas necessary to improving your exam performance. Having tried and tested our approach we know that it is the most effective.  After all, we have proved this through our results and course feedback. During the two day exam revision courses you will spend 16 hours of revision focusing on your exams.  Unlike other revision course providers who use a "topic based approach" to revision, we do not. Our revision courses are exam board and unit specific.  

Areas of focus during your exam revision course

• Syllabus review
• Exam technique 
• Exam Practice

 

Syllabus Review

It goes without saying that to do well in your exams, you need to understand the content.

The syllabus review workshops focuses on the key areas that you identified during your initial questionnaire,  as well as additional areas that the teachers highlight as being critical to your chances of success in your exams. 

We'll make sure that we cover these key areas during your exam revision course as well as the core syllabus, tips for revision especially pointing out the bits that are more likely to come up in the final exams and how all the sections relate to each other.

Exam Technique 

Your Examiners are all former Principal Examiners or Chief Examiners.  You will benefit from their knowledge and exam technique skills. Their unit specific workshops on examination technique focus on the key areas that you need, in order to achieve your target grades. No other revision course provider offers you the opportunity to work alongside the Chief and Principal examiners to the extent that we do.

The Examiners will suggest exam techniques and strategies that will help you boost your grades. They will also ensure that you fully understand how to apply your answer to the exam question as well as ensuring that you know and fully understand the difference between analysis and evaluation. 

These exam focused sessions  help to build up your understanding and knowledge of the subject area and will improve your exam confidence as a result. 

Exam Practice

During your revision course you will complete a mock paper which will be marked by your examiners. The examiners will work alongside you to ensure that you then fully understand how to achieve the maximum possible marks during your A Level exams. Ensuring that you know how to answer the exam questions during your exam is crucial. 

Exam practice is a great way of consolidating all the content you're expected to remember until the final exams, while at the same time fine-tuning what you have learnt about exam skills during the course. Exam practice is about getting better at what you will actually be doing during your exams.

On your first day, you will be set homework which will include writing a few exam questions. You will then go through the answers and add structure to these on the second day with the examiners during the revision course.

Your examiners have had experience in writing, setting and moderating the exams. They will share their expertise with you to provide you with the best possible guidance.

We look forward to meeting you on one of our revision courses. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions about the A Level revision courses or indeed the IB revision courses.
