How important are GCSEs?
Dr Paul Teulon, Director of Admissions
King’s College, London
The habits of A* students • Cover specification • Use Mark Schemes • Use Examiner reports • Make notes (not read notes) • 20 extra hours a week • Have a range of resources • Seek feedback • Study buddy (like university) • Practise recall • Seek model answers • Avoid social media & other
distractions
GCSEs are a key selection tool for university because we do not have A level grades when students apply and predicted grades from schools are too
often too high.

Highly competitive universities / courses
• Medicine – although web sites show lower entry for GCSE the experience in this school is that upwards of 7* GCSE is needed along with AAAA at A level + work experience and high scores in aptitude tests ie UKCAT & BMAT
• There are NO ‘easy’ medical schools to get into.
• Tip – make sure you achieve A* in coursework as low coursework marks tends to bring grades down to an A.

Learning mindset
We’re all projects – learning how to manage people and ourselves
DWECK – praise
• VALUE - A2L
• VALUE - SUPPORT

FIXED MINDSET LIVE A WORLD WHERE: Personality is fixed – sociable or not Intelligence is fixed – smart or not Leadership ability is fixed – talented or not Sporting ability is fixed – got the physical skills/physique or not Because these are not in your control – spend a lot of time seeking feedback that you have the ‘fixed gifts’ e.g. popular, high grades, share price high, winning races Avoid risk at all cost - situations where you might get feedback that you don’t have the ‘fixed gift’ anymore Obsessed with avoiding making mistakes and failing. Why?

GROWTH MINDSET LIVE A WORLD WHERE: Personality develops – become more or less sociable Intelligence grows – harder you work, more able you become Leadership ability develops with experience – training can be key Sporting ability develops – even Olympians admit they persevered more than most – were not the best at the beginning Because these traits are in your control – spend a lot of time getting advice about how to develop Risk helps expose weakness - situations where you might learn more Making mistakes and failing are a vital part of the learning process. Why?

RESEARCH POINT 4 Year-olds
Carol Dweck
• Asked 4 year-olds if they would like to redo a difficult jigsaw that they had been unable to solve.
• Fixed mindset – said “No”
• Growth mindset – said “Yes, please”. They kept choosing difficult ones until the figured them
out.

RESEARCH POINT University students
Carol Dweck… • Asked students, not proficient at speaking English,
starting at University of Hong Kong (taught in English), if they would like English lessons.
• Measured their mindset using a questionnaire.
• Fixed mindset – did not sign up – expose weakness • Growth mindset – signed up – ability can improve

Danger of praise
• Imagine you have your on child
• They come home having achieved 10/10 in a spelling test - should you praise their effort or spelling ability? Why?
• Praise effort not ability.

Children who play video games twice a day are less likely to achieve five good GCSE grades, a study suggests. The National Children's Bureau Northern Ireland research involved more than 600 14 to 16-year-olds from 2012-14. It found 41% of children who used portable gaming devices at least twice a day achieved at least five GCSE A* to C grades, compared with 77% of those who used them less than once a week. The research does not establish why this might be the case.

Research ‘ICT & Me’ - October 2015 4 in 10 young people spend four hours or more online in the year they take GCSEs Pupils who spent about three hours every day using a computer to do homework achieved the best exam results, with 79% achieving five A* to C grades in their GCSEs Too much or too little use of ICT for homework also had an effect. Those who spent no time on homework or who spent more than three hours on homework, did considerably worse with only 57% getting five A* to C grades

Which level are you in terms of revision?
Are you a 3e?
Level 1 – I READ through my notes
Level 2 – I MAKE NOTES from what I read
Level 3 – I TRANSFORM my notes into another format e.g. diagrams, lists, mnemonics, flash cards
Level a – I answer past questions but avoid hard ones
Level b - I answer hard past questions until I get it right
Level c – I use mark schemes to help me improve my answers
Level d – I use Examiner reports and mark schemes
Level e – I practise AGAIN and AGAIN until I KNOW I have got it right & seek support when I need it.

Professor John Dunlovsky's research published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest, a journal of the Association
for Psychological Science (2013)
"Students who can test themselves or try to retrieve material from their memory are going to learn that material better in the long run“.
"Start by reading the text book then make flash cards of the critical
concepts and test yourself”.
"A century of research has shown that repeated testing works."
Only two of the 10 techniques examined turned out to be really effective : 1. Testing yourself 2. Spreading out your revision over time.

So what does this look like in reality?
![Page 85: Practical Revision Strategies to Achieve Top Grades · PDF filePractical revision strategies to achieve top grades ... Western Front - Ypres ... questions, mark scheme](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a9e08a87f8b9a39338bfa3a/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Helping you memorise 5 simple steps
Step 1- Highlight the key points on the revision guide/teacher handouts Step 2- Make a flash card/bullet point list/mind map Step 3- Copy out flash card/bullet point list/mind map over and over- x5-10 times Step 4- Test yourself- verbally or in writing- (if you cannot remember, go back to step 3 and repeat) Step 5- Practice exam question in timed conditions with no notes.

The Heart
![Page 87: Practical Revision Strategies to Achieve Top Grades · PDF filePractical revision strategies to achieve top grades ... Western Front - Ypres ... questions, mark scheme](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a9e08a87f8b9a39338bfa3a/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Step 1-Highlight at least the key points on the revision guide
Don’t highlight everything- just keywords and points
You are trying to condense the content
![Page 88: Practical Revision Strategies to Achieve Top Grades · PDF filePractical revision strategies to achieve top grades ... Western Front - Ypres ... questions, mark scheme](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a9e08a87f8b9a39338bfa3a/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Step 2- Make a flash card/bullet point list/mind map using the highlighted text
Use colours to help key concepts and points
standout
These are students’ neat notes that they
keep and use to revisit and test themselves
![Page 89: Practical Revision Strategies to Achieve Top Grades · PDF filePractical revision strategies to achieve top grades ... Western Front - Ypres ... questions, mark scheme](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a9e08a87f8b9a39338bfa3a/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Step 3- Copy out flash card/bullet point list/mind map over and over- x5
Writing is better
than simply reading when it
comes to memorising.

Step 4- Test yourself- verbally or in writing- (if you cannot remember, go back and repeat to step 3)
REPETITION is very important- REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT

Step 5- Practice exam question in timed
conditions with no notes.
Revision and information learnt must be applied to the exam. Otherwise students will learn information but will no idea how this information actually helps them score marks in
the examination.

Benefits of using flashcards
1. Forces students to condense information to the core points.
2. Flashcards can be hole-punched in the corners and treasury tagged together so students can have packs of flashcards that cover different units/topics/subjects.
3. Flashcards are easily transportable- so revision does not have to simply be an activity that is confined to the home.
4. Anyone can use the cards to test the student. Parents or friends simply need the card in front of them to test the student.

Start early- start now!
Plan a weekly timetable: • Slots for revision rotating between subjects
and topics (use the 5 steps) • Slots for homework completion • Slots for self testing • Slots for parents testing
