Dear Parent / Carer
With Year 11 final exams fast approaching, I wanted to confirm the date of the Cambridge National Sport Science Exam (unit R180) – 22nd May 2025. The exam unit is 40% of students’ overall grade. All specification content has been taught, it is now hugely important students continue to revise at home. Your support with revision at home and to ensure students practice exam style questions is appreciated.
Your child has been provided with the following to help with final preparations, and it is expected students actively revise regularly in the lead up to the exam – this is now!
- A revision checklist with all the key topics taught so far
- 5 exam question workbooks on each topic area – this is to be used at home to practice exam questions.
- A predicted exam paper that students should complete along with a mark scheme to self check.
- Knowledge organiser booklet with all the key knowledge
- Student book from their lessons with all the knowledge and work on each topic – this needs to be collected from their Teacher / room 29.
What can you do to help your child to revise?
- Provide a quiet and purposeful space to work and revise. Help assign time to revise within the week – 20 minutes chunks.
- Condense notes for a topic and learning key words and definitions
- Create a mind map of each topic area. Learn the mnemonics or acronyms for each topic.
- Teach someone else the content
- Use knowledge organisers to make revision cards / look, cover, write, repeat key information and facts
- Most importantly now, apply knowledge to exam questions using the workbooks and past papers provided.
Thank you for your continued support to ensure your child is prepared for the up and coming final exam and secures the grade they deserve. If you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to contact me: [email protected]
