Preparation
(A Message from Mr. Page)
These rehearsal examinations are the first assessment of your levels this year and
therefore are extremely important to your progress in Year 9. The exams that come
first will test you in every subject, apart from your Creative Arts subjects, in which
you have already been tested and if you've not already started, the time to start
preparing for them is NOW!
Year 9 Exams are important
After these exams you will be attending a Parents’ Evening to hear about the
GCSE choices available to you next year. You should therefore be ensuring you
do your best in all subjects, but possibly especially well in the subjects you want
to take next year.
How to use this booklet
STEP 1
Prepare a revision timetable. Use this Revision Guide to list the subjects you will
revise each evening between now and the end of the exams. Then use the Revision
Planner in the back of this booklet to list the exact topics you'll look at each
evening.
Make sure you cover every topic by the exam.
STEP 2
Don't just read your notes; write out in your own words the key points to
remember. Turn them into a picture if possible. Make up rhymes to help things
stick in your mind. Get a friend to test you when you think you're ready.
STEP 3
Tick off each topic in this booklet as you learn it and ensure that you know when
each exam is.
STEP 4
Remember when you go into the exam that you can only do your best. Relax, give
it all you've got and then check your answers through. Don't stop working till the
teacher tells you that the time is up.
ALL the best!

Year 9 Rehearsal Examinations – April 2015
All exams will take place in the hall, unless otherwise indicated.
Revision Guide 2014/15
CPO 4
Arrangements for Students
All Year 9 students will still attend assemblies as normal.
French and German Listening exams are to take place in your usual MFL
rooms.
If your exam begins in tutor time, your tutor will issue your seat number
before bringing you to the hall.
Your exams always begin either during period 1, 3 or period 5 (other than
Thursday morning’s exam!). You should go to your normal lesson first to
get your mark and seat number. Your subject teacher will then bring you to
the hall for the start of the examination. Therefore you should not arrive
without your teacher.
For your Thursday morning exam, your tutor will issue your seat numbers.
They will then bring you to the hall during tutor time for an 8.40am start.
This will allow us to get a more prompt start, as this exam is a little longer
than the others!
You will be brought to the exam hall by your tutor/teacher, in silence. You
will be escorted back to your lesson, at the end of the exam, by your
teacher in silence.
If you are not scheduled to be in exams, you should go to your normal
timetabled lesson.
French listening exams are scheduled during the week for all sets apart
from set 5. The set 5 listening exam will take place on Thursday 26th March
in your usual timetabled lesson.
The German listening exam will take place on Monday 23rd March in your
usual lesson.
The German reading and writing examination will be invigilated by external
invigilators.
French and German speaking exams will take place in one of your usual
timetabled lessons before exam week
No bags, coats or pencil cases should be brought into the Exam Hall.
There is to be no communication in the Exam Hall.
You should use the toilet before exams. Do not ask to use the toilet in
exams (unless you have a medical card which allows you to go).
If there are any arrangements about which you are unsure, please see Mr
C. Potts in Room 244.

You must answer all questions based on the extracts and your wider
understanding of the stories;

You will be asked to comment on how language is used to show characters
and themes in the stories;
You will be expected to use quotations to support what you are saying;
You will be asked to compare the two extracts and how they present a key
idea in the stories;
There are 30 marks available.
Paper 2
Writing – 1 hour
You will be asked to produce a piece of narrative writing that fits a
particular title or image;
You will be assessed on your ability to write in a way which engages your
reader and shows an understanding of language and structure can be used
to achieve effects;
You will be given a choice of two options and must answer on one;

GEOGRAPHY
The exam will be 1 hour long with a number of different types of questions, you
will need to answer all the questions on the paper. Some will be short, but other
will be longer and will need you to develop your ideas. You need to pay careful
attention to the mark allocation for each question; this will prompt you to how
much you have to write. Study the command word in the question – think
carefully about what it is asking you to do.
Topics to Revise:
Across the Border
The main countries of Europe
What is the EU, its aims and potential problems?
What is a Superpower and the factors that make a country a
superpower?

Revision Tips
Read through all the work in your books since September. Work through your
books in more detail and make revision notes to help you remember things.
This works best if you try to limit the number of words you are using and just
record the essential details. Make up your own bullet points, tables,
annotated maps, diagrams and cartoons to show the information.

MATHEMATICS
The Mathematics examination consists of two papers, one non-calculator paper
and one calculator.
Preparation
To succeed in your Mathematics examination you must prepare carefully. Make
sure you have:
Your old exercise books so you can refer back to the topics you have
covered. Try correcting your work and reading your notes.
Ask your teacher about any topics you are unsure about, you have a week
before the examination to ask questions.
Use the internet there are some very good websites such as Bite size, SAM
Learning and ‘My Maths’. Remember in the examination you will have to
write out your answers.
Equipment, in the examination you will not be able to borrow basic
equipment. Check you have a pen, pencil ruler, rubber, sharpener,
protractor, compasses and CALCULATOR. It is no use revising carefully and
then not having the correct equipment to answer the questions. Staff will
not be able to lend equipment.
In the examination make sure you read the question carefully and show your full
working out. Be PRO ACTIVE in your learning.

Exam Content
The Apostle Paul’s Early Life and Worldview.
You should know that as a Jew, Saul (Paul) would have
considered being righteous a matter of circumcision, sacrifice at the
temple on the Day of Atonement, and following the traditions of the
elders alongside the commands of God given to Moses. Such
traditions included the practice of ritual cleanliness (washing in a
religious way before meals) and observance of the Pharisees code of
conduct on the Sabbath (not working in any way).
You should understand St Paul’s Jewish worldview as Saul of
Tarsus and how this led him to become a persecutor of Jesus’

CPO 29
followers. This includes his belief that only those born Jewish and
therefore into God’s covenant people are seen as righteous with
God.
The Apostle Paul’s Later Life and Worldview.
You should know the story of the stoning of Stephen, the
conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus and his journey to
Jerusalem meeting with the apostle Peter and the church of Antioch.
You should also know some of key events on Paul’s three
missionary journeys, including the exorcism and riot at Ephesus, the
saving of the Philippian jailor, and Paul’s speech to the philosophers
of Athens and be able to use these as evidence in your answers.
You should understand Paul’s revelation of ‘Reconciliation with
God.’ Paul understands that everyone Jew and Gentile is separated
from God by our sin, that none of us are righteous and need to be
reconciled by a mediator (Christ, Jesus) with God.
You should understand that Paul’s revelation of ‘Salvation By
Faith’ means that good deeds like circumcision, ritual cleanliness or
even offerings to God will not make us righteous. It is only child-
like faith in Jesus as the Messiah and humble repentance for our
past and present sins that brings assured salvation.

going through them every day.
Ask your teacher for some practice exam questions.
Revision notes which are short and snappy are essential. Try to use
techniques which are useful for you- try the look/cover/write way of
memorising and create mind maps for each of the topics you need to
revise.
Ask before the exam if you are unclear on any point and need it
explaining again
Make sure you revise each topic in enough depth - you will need to
write in quite some detail (especially in c) questions) if you are to
secure all the marks available
Pay close attention to the detail of the question, make sure you
actually answer what is being asked for.
