Mock Exams & Revsion

Don't forget...mock exams are straight after the holiday and you should all be revising hard for them NOW! This is your only chance to practise these questions and develop these skills under full test conditions so make the most of the opportunity - if you haven't prepared you'll be wasting both your own and your teacher's time as the only feedback you'll get is 'do some work' - not very helpful when the purpose is to help you improve for the real thing on June 2nd.
