Exam Timetable, Rules & Guidance 

The Exams section of our website contains the following pages:

Subject Specific Revision Resources

The links below will take you to the website of the exam board page for each of your subjects. On these pages you will find lots of useful documents, such as the specification that tells teachers the content, they need to teach you, past papers and mark schemes along with examiners reports on each past exam which tell you the mistakes previous students have made that lost them marks, so that you can avoid making the same mistakes.

You do need to be careful that you are always looking at the correct documents, for example in some subjects including subjects like History, Geography and RE teachers are able to select some of the topics they teach you. Therefore, it is important that you check with your teacher the exact units you are studying for example in History at GCSE students are taught the Medicine though time unit as opposed to crime and punishment through time unit.
