What the mocks have taught us...



Have you been a wally? Did you really revise enough?

This week you'll get the marks back from your mock exam of Paper 2. Even before getting your result you will know what kind of performance you gave and which section was the trickiest for you. You also know if you bothered to revise - and so will your teacher so watch out if you haven't put the work in as they will be on your case and ringing home this week if they think you are slacking.

All I can say is this - if you are disappointed with your marks there is only one person who can help you. YOU.

Get your books out, get your CD in the disk drive and knuckle down if you have to improve.

This week we will be focussing on the writing sections of the Language papers (P1b and P2b). Prepare to INFORM/EXPLAIN/DESCRIBE and ARGUE/PERSUADE/ADVISE.

In the meantime listen to your podcasts and look at the writing sections on your revision CD. You could also have a look at the short videos that I have posted tonight... they give some top tips especially for persuading (paper 1) and describing (paper 2).
