Academic Mentoring Day Year 11 and 13 Examination Support Sessions
YEAR 13
We attended two sessions where we received targeted exam support for our subjects. During these sessions, our teachers discussed different approaches to exam-style questions and provided additional insights on key topics and common exam questions to aid our revision. They also took the time to review challenging topics and offered practical tips on how to tackle them effectively. We were given a range of resources to help us prepare for both the upcoming January Mock exams and our A-Level exams. I found these sessions valuable in deepening my understanding of crucial areas of the specification and the exam format. The teachers were supportive, and I left the sessions feeling much more confident and better equipped for my A-Level exams. Abdur-Raheeem [13B]
YEAR 11
I believe that the Academic Mentoring Day sessions were extremely useful in terms of exam preparation. The sessions were very long, but this meant that we could work through full papers. I enjoyed going over what would come up in our upcoming mocks, such as English Language paper 2 and exam prep for Maths. I also think that Science would be a good addition to the day as it is seen as just as important as the others to a majority. Aparna Bisht [11G] & Amanveer Gill [11G]
Extremely useful because we went through a past paper and I now understand language paper 2, and it will help during my mock examination in January and maths was helpful as we went through paper 2 content and did a mini test after, to see how much we picked upon in the lesson. Munib Ahmadi [11G]
I really enjoyed the Maths and English sessions because for English we did Language paper 2 which I benefited from. However, in Maths we did a Maths Calculator paper which was quite tricky. My English teacher helped us get through the Language paper 2 and broke each question down step by step. In Maths, I think making the papers is really tricky; they made me push myself further and do better in the upcoming papers and try to do better in my January mocks. Faizan Hussain [11G]
The day was quite useful as we got to do a walkthrough of a paper in English and had an exam in Maths. I think it will really help me in my January mocks as I now have an understanding of what Language Paper 2 will be like and how to answer the questions. The Maths test also helped me recall questions from last year that I had forgotten about. Harnoor Kaur [11G]
