Can you really use ‘exam technique’ and all of the strategies I train students in when it comes to Maths and numeracy-based questions?
I get that question a lot, but last year I marked a numeracy question in the QCS Y12 exams and it just proved my point.
Yes. Exam technique skills DO play a significant part in how students tackle these sorts of questions, and how successful they are.
In Part 2 of my QCS video diary I show you how and why.

What goes on once students walk out of the exam hall?
Do all of the papers go into a black hole and a list of results and grades pop out a month later?
Ummmm – NO!
In this video, I show all of the preparation that comes before exam marking even begins.
We can only mark what is in front of us. We don’t know how much work you’ve put in at school or home. We don’t know what you know or what you can do.
This is why being able to decipher the question accurately and then give your best possible response with the subject knowledge you have is SO important.
