Use the Kerboodle books to access what you’re currently studying in lessons. You can answer the summary questions and the questions at the end of each chapter.
Your focus needs to be revision. Use the tracking sheet you have been given in class (at the front of your class folders) to help support this. Start with the things you feel least confident with so RAGing these trackers would be a good place to start. You can also go through and DIRT any sections that are incomplete.
You can use the Kerboodle (www.kerboodle.com) as it will give you access to the books we use in school, there are plenty of questions and exam style questions throughout these. Use your revision guides/flashcards as well. If you don’t have these yet, these can be ordered via Parentmail shop.
