At St Joseph's all students are entered for the EDEXCEL exam board for the GCSE Examinations, however the content is the same for all of the exam boards at GCSE. 

​

Exam papers with video solutions provide, in my opinion, the best way to maximise the benefit of independently completing past papers.  The steps I suggest you take are:

​

1. Complete an exam paper to the best of your ability in black pen

2. Watch the video solution of any questions you couldn't do until you can see the way forward and then complete the question using a red pen without the video support.

3. Use the mark scheme to mark the paper.

4. For any questions you got incorrect go back to step 2

5. If there are still questions you don't understand after watching the video then you should discuss these with your teacher.
