Year
13 Economics AS Resits strategy
After School Economics club – Every Monday
after School, Room 1
October break – AS Study Notes
November AS Mock
Given all students are unable to resit exam
papers in January it is essential that as they progress through their A2
studies they are able to keep on top of the AS exam paper(s) that they have
chosen to resit in May 2015 and will be able to enter for in Jan-Feb 2015.
In the past, extra-curricular revision
sessions have been attended by students on an entirely voluntary basis. There has been, however, a clear link between
achievement in the examinations and attendance at the revision sessions. With a view to helping every student to be as
prepared as possible this year, I am confirming the timing of those sessions as every Monday after School in Room 1
In addition, attendance at revision
sessions for a re-sit of a unit of study in Economics is compulsory. Students
who do not attend the relevant revision sessions, though, may be withdrawn from
those re-sits. Where their timetables
allow it, you have been encouraged to join the current Year 12
lessons.
Of course, to be fully prepared for your exams, you need to do more than just attend revision
sessions. Punctual attendance at
timetabled lessons is vital. Given the improvements in the ‘Sixth Form
Study Area’ Ithe expectation is that you make effective use of your private study
time, consolidating the work done in lessons, practicing exam style questions
and effective revision notes. You have been asked to ensure you register with
a member of the Sixth Form team at the start of these sessions and Mr Lawfull
and I will undertake random spot checks of your studies and be available to
answer questions when possible. Finally at this stage in the course you have
been provided with guidance on what to study over the October break for your AS and A2 Mocks in November. I will be checking your AS study notes on Monday
3rd November and talking you through specific AS exam skills at
this session in preparation for your AS mock exam week beginning 10th
November.
