Preparation

(A Message from Mr. Page)

Do you find revision easy?

If you do, you are unlike me. Ask any of your teachers and you will find that they

found preparing for exams hard. It is not just that there is a lot to remember. Of

all the things that you are asked to do at Trinity, revising for exams needs the

most self-motivation. It is not like a typical homework where you know exactly

what needs to be done and how long to spend over it. Revising forces you to

decide for yourself what needs doing and how long to spend on it.

That is where this booklet comes in. Your teachers have listed for you the work

that you need to prepare to be tested on. In the few days left before the exams

are upon us, you will get the most out of your revision time, if you use this

booklet. Here is how you can decide which subjects to revise, on which evening

between now and your last exam. A good plan would be to use the revision

planner at the back of this booklet. Write in the subjects that you will revise each

evening and as you revise, tick off each subject to show that you have completed

it. If you come across something that you don’t understand, take the notes to

your teacher and ask for another explanation. You will get a lot of respect from

your teachers, who will see how seriously you are taking revision.

Don’t just read through notes – what we read never sticks in our heads. Instead,

write out in words a couple of sentences which sums up what you need to know.

Add pictures, diagrams, mind maps and snappy little poems – anything to help

the facts stick in your mind.

Look after these revision notes, as next year you will find that your Year 11

exams will test you on Year 10 work as well as Year 11 work. Your hard work

now will all seem worthwhile then!

Give it your best shot and remember that there is no gain, without some pain!

Arrangements for Students

All Year 10 students will still attend assemblies as normal.

French and German Listening exams are to take place in your usual MFL timetabled lessons during the week

beginning Monday 13th April.

French and German Speaking exams are to take place during the week beginning Monday 20h April (the week

before rehearsal exam week.). You will be given a time and place by your MFL teacher!

Subjects that involve practical assessments such as Music, Drama, Dance, Physical Education and Business and

Communications will take place the week before rehearsal exam week.

On Tuesday of exam week the Media examination and the Music examination will be in separate rooms to the

main hall. Media will be in Room 208 and Music will be in Room 149.

If your exam begins in tutor time, your tutor will issue your seat number before bringing you to the hall.

If your exam begins at the beginning of period 1, 3 or 6 you should go to your normal timetabled class first.

Your subject teacher will then issue your seat number before bringing you to the hall for your examination.

If only a proportion of your group are in an exam session, you should still get your seat number from your

tutor/teacher. You will then be expected to go sensibly to the exam independently. This is because your teacher

will be with the remainder of your class/tutor group teaching them.

If you are not scheduled to be in exams, you should go to your normal timetabled lessons.

Some examinations will be invigilated by external invigilators, to allow you to get a feel for your final

examinations.

When exams have finished, you should return straight back to your normal timetabled lesson, unless told

otherwise by the lead invigilator.

Please note that some examinations start during tutor time in the morning (these sessions are indicated on the

exam timetable).

No bags, coats or pencil cases should be brought into the Exam Hall.

There is to be no communication in the Exam Hall.

You should use the toilet before exams. Do not ask to use the toilet in exams (unless you have a medical card

which allows you to go).

If there are any arrangements about which you are unsure, please see Mr C Potts in Room 244.

Effective Revision Techniques

5 techniques that appear to work well and make a difference to learning

1. Practice Testing

Keep testing yourself on what you have got to learn.

This technique has been shown to have the highest impact in terms of supporting learning. Some ways in which you can

do this easily:

Create some flashcards, with questions on one side and answers on the other – and keep testing yourself.

Work through past exam papers – many can be acquired through exam board websites.

Simply quiz yourself on key bits of information.

Create ‘fill the gap’ exercises for you and a friend to complete.

Create multiple choice quizzes for friends to complete.

2. Distributed Practice

Rather than cramming all of your revision for each subject into one block, it’s better to space it out – from now, through

to the exams. Why is this better? Bizarrely, because it gives them some forgetting time. This means that when you come

back to it a few weeks later, you will have to think harder, which actually helps you to remember it.

3. Elaborate Interrogation

One of the best things that you can do (either alone or with a friend) to support revision is to ask why an idea or concept

is true – and then answer that why question. For example;

In science, increasing the temperature can increase the rate of a chemical reaction….why?

In geography, the leisure industry in British seaside towns like Barry Island in South Wales has deteriorated in the

last 4 decades….why?

In history, in 1929 the American stock exchange collapsed. This supported Hitler’s rise to power….why?

So, rather than just trying to learn facts or ideas by reading them over and over, you should get into the habit of asking

yourself why these things are true.


CPO 6

4. Self-Explanation

Rather than looking at different topics from a subject in isolation, you should try to think about how this new information

is related to what you know already. This is where mind- maps might come in useful – but the process of producing the

mind map, is probably more useful than the finished product. So, you should think about a key central idea (the middle of

the mind map) and then how new material, builds on the existing knowledge in the middle.

Alongside this, when you are solving a problem e.g. in maths, you should explain to someone the steps you took to solve

the problem.

5. Interweaved Practice

When students are revising a subject, the temptation is to do it in ‘blocks’ of topics. Like below:

The problem with this is, is that it doesn’t support the importance of repetition – which is so important to learning. So

rather than revising in ‘topic blocks’ it’s better to chunk these topics up in their revision programme and interleave them.

MEDIA STUDIES (GCSE)

The scheme of assessment will consist of the following;

One Media Studies Examination paper (1hr 15mins)

This paper will take place under examination conditions and will involve the analysis of a

previously unseen text.

You will require writing materials and drawing materials (pen, pencil, ruler and rubber) the

creative task in section B can be completed either in plain pencil with colours being labelled,

or you may want to take a selection of coloured pencils in to the exam (please note, only

coloured pencils are allowed and NOT felt tip pens).

Media Studies

Exam Structure:

The exam will consist of two individual sections totalling 80 marks.

Section A will require the analysis of an unseen text based on the set exam topic (film trailers).

Questions 1 and 2 relate to the resource material which is in the form of a moving image extract.

Questions 3 and 4 will require you to refer to your own examples and case studies NOT the

resource material.

You will be required to study and make notes on the resource material for section A prior to

writing your answers. The extract will be played for a total of three times and will pause between

each playing for you to make notes.

Section B involves planning a creative practical piece of work based on the second set exam topic

(movie posters).

This will involve up to five tasks requiring creative planning and layout and also effective

explanation and annotation of those plans. Be prepared to justify your decisions and how or why

you have made certain design choices.

Topics to Revise:

Micro features: cinematography (camera shots, angles and movement) sound (diegetic,

non-diegetic), mise-en-scene (costume, setting, props, lighting, character positioning

and body language) performance and editing.

Genre: codes and conventions of genre

Case Studies: examples of trailers explored in class and own examples of trailers that can

be used to discuss codes and conventions and audience appeal.

Movie Posters: the two different types of movie poster, constructional elements (format

and layout) key conventions, use of images and use of text.

Audience appeal – persuasive devices and tactics to appeal to different audience groups.

MUSIC -Listening to and Appraising

Your Year 10 Music examination will be based on the Listening to and Appraising Music section

of the GCSE Music syllabus. In your actual GCSE, this examination will be worth 20% of the total

GCSE, with composition coursework (40%) and performance coursework (40%) comprising the

rest.

In your examination, you will be required to respond to questions based on short musical

excerpts drawing on music from all five Areas of Study. Recorded excerpts of music will be

provided on a CD. Questions will be:

• objective tests

• structured responses

• extended responses.

You should familiarise yourself with the five areas of study listed below, which relate to the

listening exam. The text books available in school and the AQA website and revision guides will

help you in your revision of these key areas:

AoS1: Rhythm & Metre

AoS2: Harmony & Tonality

AoS3: Texture & Melody

AoS4: Timbre & Dynamics

AoS5: Structure & Form

You will have explored these five areas of study through your class listening work in the following

three strands:

• a) The Western Classical Tradition

• b) Popular Music of the 20th & 21st centuries

• c) World Music

You should listen to and explore music from all of the above three strands to gain an

understanding of how composers have used the Elements of Music as listed in the five AoS.

Questions will focus on listening skills related to the AoS and not on the specific genres of the

strands.


CPO 41

Examples of subsections of genres you could listen to during your revision are listed below:

a) The Western Classical Tradition

Baroque orchestral music

The concerto

Music for voices

Chamber music

The sonata

b) Popular Music of the 20th & 21st centuries

Content of the Examination.

Unit 1:1

Healthy active lifestyles and how they could benefit you.

This section includes the following aspects;

The 3 categories of a healthy active lifestyle: Social, Mental (Psychological) and Physical.

Examples for each of these categories e.g. make friends, increased self esteem, improved

fitness.

Unit 1:2

Influences on your healthy active lifestyle.


The influence of people, image, resources, health, cultural and socio economic factors on

participation in sport.

The influence of initiatives by the Government, PESSCL, Sport England, Youth Sports Trust

and Active Kids on participation.

An understanding of the Sports Participation Pyramid and the 4 levels that make it up.

Unit 1:3

Health, Exercise, Fitness and Performance.


Definitions of health, exercise, fitness and performance.

The fitness components that make up Health Related Fitness i.e. Cardiovascular fitness,

Muscular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Flexibility and Body Composition.

The fitness components that make up Skill Related Fitness i.e. Coordination, Reaction

Time, Agility, Balance, Speed and Power.

Unit 1:4

Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle.


Assessing fitness levels for use in an exercise programme (tests for

health-related exercise: Cooper’s 12-minute run test, hand grip

strength test, sit and reach flexibility test, Harvard Step Test, treadmill

test; tests for skill-related fitness: Illinois Agility Run test, standing

stork test, Sergeant Jump test, standing broad jump, ruler drop test,30-metre sprint,

three ball juggle)

How a P.E.P should be planned to take into consideration individual needs and the

demands of the activity


CPO 43

The principles of training i.e. S.P.O.R.T – Specificity, Progression, Overload, Reversibility

and Tedium, F.I.T.T – Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. How to apply these to your

training programme

The concept of moderation, rest and recovery in training.

Goal setting – short, medium and long term goals. SMART targets i.e. Specific,

Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time bound

Methods of training i.e. Interval, Continuous, Fartlek, Circuit, Weight and Cross Training.

Examples of which methods are appropriate for selected sports.

Unit 1:5

Your personal health and well-being.


Understanding the link between exercise, diet, work and rest, and their

influence on personal health and wellbeing

The requirements of a balanced diet - the importance, and use, of macro nutrients

(carbohydrates, fats and protein), micro nutrients (minerals and vitamins), water and fibre

for personal health and wellbeing, and maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle

Explain the need to consider the timing of dietary intake when

performing due to the redistribution of blood flow (blood shunting)

during exercise.

Revision Tips

Use your notes and homework booklets to make revision notes

Write down definitions e.g. principles of training etc

Try to put a sporting example with everything e.g., a sprinter would need to consider

specificity when training, so he would use interval training to improve his speed

Try to look at how your own sport fits with everything you have learned

Get someone else to test you regularly. Revise the work you don’t know, not the work you

do

Look at the end of topic tests you have completed to understand the style of questioning

Ensure you understand the Examiner’s Terms e.g., Describe, Identify, Explain

Make revision cards and use mind maps to highlight important points

Have a copy of the Specification Content; it tells you what you should know

Religious Studies

The Year 10 exam for ALL sets will be a rehearsal for your GCSE examinations that you will take

next year.

Sets 10RS/1-5 will rehearse their first paper – UNIT 2 Religion and Life (Believing in God, Matters

of Life and Death, Marriage and the Family, Religion and Community Cohesion.)

Sets 10RE/1-5 will rehearse part of their first paper UNIT 2 Religion and Life and will be tested on

the two modules ‘Believing in God’ and ‘Matters of Life & Death’

These Rehearsal exams are very significant as they will assess your progress in the GCSE course

and they are a real rehearsal for the actual GCSE in Year 11. Each exam lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

and is made up of 8 questions with sections a, b, c, d. You will be required to choose 4 of these

questions to answer, one complete question from each page. You will also be awarded extra

marks in the first question of each paper for SPELLING and GRAMMAR.

The structure of the exam

Each question has four parts:

a) style questions are worth 2 marks which require definitions of keywords.

b) style questions are worth 4 marks and you will be asked to answer giving your opinion

and 2 reasons for your opinion. Remember each reason MUST have an example or

explanation.

c) style questions are made up of questions which are worth 8 marks and therefore all need

to be answered with detailed 'mini-essay' style answers giving 4 clear points in your

answer.

d) style questions are about being able to evaluate and give your opinion. They are worth 6

marks and you need to give 3 points for each section of the question i) and ii).

Revision Tips

Learn key definitions in each topic by creating definition

cards and putting them around your home.

Make sure you can give explained reasons for your opinion

and give examples or evidence from Christianity or the

Bible.

Revision notes which are short and snappy are essential.

Try to use techniques which are useful for you- mind maps

and practice questions are a good idea.

Ask before the exam if you are unclear on any point

and need it explaining again

Make sure you revise each topic in enough depth - you

will need to write in quite some detail if you are to secure

all the marks available – try to practice accurate, succinct

points.

Pay close attention to the detail of the question; make

sure you actually answer what is being asked for – read the

question CAREFULLY.

(b) design skills via the application of a range of graphical techniques.

It is essential that you provide your own stationary equipment during the actual examination. This

includes (as a bare minimum), a black pen, pencil, ruler, rubber and a set of coloured pencils.

Fact. Each Examination for each subject, will ask questions about the study area. It is therefore

important that you take this task seriously.

Your teacher will cover all the appropriate tasks in class and then it is up to you to do the relevant

research and recording. Once the folder has been completed (to the best of your ability), you are

expected to use this document as your main revision resource and guide.

It is up to you to read around each of the tasks covered in class and increase your understanding

of the subject matter through independent learning and self study.

The Design Folder must be handed in to Examinations officer before the start of the examination.

YOU cannot take ANY revision material into the examination; failure to comply with this request

will result in disqualification in ALL your Examinations.

GCSE SCIENCE - Sets 1 to 8

You will be tested on all the Science covered so far this year if you are in sets 3 – 6. The Physics exam

will be based on the content you covered last year. There are three exams, each 1 hour long. For

Set 1 and 2 this is the Science which you covered in Year 9. This is practice as you will be sitting

these for real in June.

Most questions will be short answer questions. Read the questions carefully as you will be asked

to complete diagrams, complete graphs and tick boxes. The number of marks tells you how

many different points you need to write (e.g. 2 marks means you have to write two valid points).

Answer all questions.

You will need a ruler and calculator for the exam.

Revision Tips

Make sure you learn the key words. Write them down on pieces of paper or cards and

get your family to test you. Stick them around your bedroom where you will see them

every day.

Don't panic, if you prepare properly and thoroughly you should do well in these exams.

If you are missing information, make sure you read the question again to see if you

missed it.

Don't forget you will have a data sheet with formulae and the periodic table on it. You

don’t need to remember them but you do need to be able to USE THEM! Make them

the first resource you use when you ask questions

1.2

Atomic

Structure

Use the periodic table to work out the number of each type of

sub-atomic particle for a named atom.

Know that elements in the same group have similar reactions

because they have identical numbers of outer electrons.

C1.1.

2. Rocks and Building Materials

2.1 Limestone

and its

uses

Know that limestone is calcium carbonate and that it is quarried.

Know that, when heated limestone becomes calcium oxide

giving off carbon dioxide.

Know that calcium oxide reacts with water to make calcium

hydroxide.

C1.2.

2.2 Reactions

in

Carbonate

s

Know that:

metal carbonates decompose on heating to give carbon dioxide

and the metal oxide,

metal carbonates react with acids to produce carbon dioxide,

limestone is damaged by acid rain.

C1.2.

2

2.3 The

Limestone

Cycle

Know that:

calcium hydroxide is an alkali that neutralises acids,

calcium hydroxide dissolves in water to make a solution called

limewater,

limewater reacts with carbon dioxide to make calcium carbonate

this reaction is a test for carbon dioxide as the solution goes

cloudy.
