Always ask ‘how’

** Top Tip – Always ask ‘how’**

Understand the mark scheme!

Skills and knowledge are, of course, of central importance within a test, but HOW exactly do you answer the questions?

Not only do your children need to learn the academia behind the exam, but they also need to learn how to answer the questions and gain the top band of marks.

You can acquire mark schemes easily, from either the school board itself or from the website of the relevant mark scheme. From this, you can use highlighters to distinguish different grade bands and familiarise yourself with the different skills needed to get there.
