  2. Present Year 10 Students • In Year 9 students will have covered the material for the Core Science GCSE. • In Year 10 students will study the material needed for the Additional Science GCSE. Some students will have started the Principles of Applied Science BTEC. • In the summer examinations most students will complete both the Core Science and the Additional Science GCSEs or a BTEC in science. A small number of students could defer the Core Science examination until Y11.

  3. Y10 Provisional Examination Dates • Core Science Examinations • B1 (6th June), C1 (10th June), P1 (12th June) • Each worth 25% - ISA worth 25% • Additional Science Examinations • B2 (13th May), C2 (15thMay), P2 (19th May) • Each worth 25% - ISA worth 25% • BTEC Principles of Applied Science • Unit 1 (14th November and 4th March) • Worth 25% - Coursework worth 75%

  4. Y11 Examinations for Y10 Students • The majority of students will study the Further Additional Science GCSE course taking the B3, C3 and P3 examinations in the summer of 2015. • A small number ofstudents could take Core Science for the first time. • Some students will take BTEC courses in Y11 either Principles or Applications of Science. • Students taking Astronomy or Human Health and Physiology will take their examinations.

  5. Present Y11 Students • In Y10, students (except those taking the Triple Sciences) will have completed their Core Science GCSE qualification. • This year the majority of students will take their Additional Science GCSE in summer. • Triple scientists will take their Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs. • BTEC students will either take Principles and/or Applications of Science.

  6. Y11 Provisional Examination Dates • Additional Science Examinations • B2 (13th May), C2 (15th May), P2 (19th May) • Each worth 25% - ISA worth 25% • Triple Science Examinations • B1 (6th June), B2 & B3 (13th May) • C1 (10th June), C2 & C3 (15th May) • P1 (12th June), P2 & P3 (19th May) • Each worth 25% - ISA worth 25% • BTEC Science Examinations • Principles of Applied Science Unit 1 (14th Nov, 4th June) • Applications of Science Unit 8 (7th March, 9th June) • Each worth 25% - Coursework worth 75%

  7. What can you do to help? • All students have been given the opportunity to buy revision guides appropriate for their course. (If you do not have them please leave your name with me after the forum). • All students will be given access to Kerboodle, a on-line resource, for free. • Encourage students to revise effectively using a variety of techniques e.g. mind mapping.

  8. What can you do to help? • Make sure that students have an understanding of the command words for questions. • Ensure students are fully prepared for their ISAs (can make a difference of one grade).

  9. Mind Mapping • Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively and improves the way that you record information. • By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject. • It allows students to see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes.
