It’s getting to that time of year where we start to think about year 11 revision, but it’s sometimes hard to know where to start. Obviously you speak to your class and you analyse their mock papers but beyond that it’s impossible to revise everything. So, as a starting point I decided to analyse all the AQA Linear Maths papers from the last 4 years to see which topics were a good bet. Here are the top ten topics from higher.
And the top ten topic from foundation.
These results should make for an interesting discussion with your department, there are certainly things which I have never considered revising in detail (like money) but which should offer a good pay off for students. Obviously these results need to be taken with a good dose of common sense too!
Keep tuned for another post about strategies for raising GCSE attainment and a bundle of resources on numberloving.co.uk to go with it – this will include all the raw data from the above findings.
If you are with OCR there is a similar analysis available on TES here shared by m34maths.
