  1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0sO1wdBhMY Trial Exams How are trial exams like sheepdog trials?

  2. The Process Use the Trial Exams to finalise the approach you take to exam days. Remember to prepare: • Your uniform – full school uniform with student I.D. Card • Your equipment – Calculator, a few pens, pencils etc • Your mind set – develop a pre-exam routine that allows you to focus and work once you enter an exam room

  3. A Growth Mind-set In a growth mind-set, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Virtually all great people have had these qualities.

  5. Growth Mind-set Action Over time which voice you heed becomes pretty much your choice. Whether you: • Take on challenges wholeheartedly • Learn from setbacks and start again • Hear advice and act on it

  6. Visualising the next 4 months • To be successful it is important to visualise success. • It is also important to visualise the steps you will have to take to achieve that success. • Lets use a sporting analogy ...

  12. The Trial exams are a dress rehearsal • Make sure you have learnt your lines because this is the final rehearsal before the final GCSEs. • Learning your lines = revision in this metaphor! • In other words, the sheepdog has done this before.

  13. Revision is do dodo! • You learn almost nothing from sitting with a book in front of you hoping to remember it all. • St James’s Park – gave you a few ways of doing revision. X

  14. Remember this..? • “No-one has a crap memory, you’re just trying to remember things in the wrong way…”

  15. The Magenta Principles • More ways of remembering by do dodoing…

  16. SOLID LIQUID GAS CHANGE • As done at St James’s Park – • Turn text into a diagram • Turn text into a table • Make a model etcetc • The particles in a solid are close together and touch each other. They can only move slightly and have a regular arrangement. In a liquid the particles are further apart and only about half of them touch. The particles can move over each other. In a gas the particles can move freely and do not touch.

  17. REDUCE • Keep reducing notes, maybe step by step, until you have distilled them to their essence. (Look at the key words on p35 [top right]. You can do this for all of your notes or pages in books).

  18. ARRANGE • The book already has diagrams; you need to change these so you’re thinking about the processes involved eg flow chart; mind map; football team line up; Post It frenzy etc

  19. PRIORITISE • A diamond nine; a hexagon grid; a league table – these can be your priorities that count or the relative importance of things eg lonely characters/quotations form Of Mice and Men.

  20. For a good memory... • THE MAGENTA PRINCIPLES • Change • Reduce • Arrange • Prioritise • and stand by for more of these via JEB!

  21. And talk..! WE REMEMBER 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we see and hear 70% of what we discuss with others 80% of what we personally experience 95% or what we teach others - Edgar Dale
