Exams

Exam websites can offer a wealth of information for parents/Carers and students. The PDF below (‘Exam Website Guidance for Parents & Carers’) will take you through how to use an exam board website to help your Son/Daughter revise for examinations. You will need some information before you can get started. Ask your Daughter/Son to ask their subject teacher for the following information:

• Exam Board
• Subject Title and Specification Name – this is a code that you can match with exam papers to make sure you have the right papers.
• Which year can you practice exam papers from? (eg 2011). This is important because exam specifications change and you need to know which papers will assess the appropriate subject material.
