What do you know about your PPE in in dif ifferent su subje jects?
Why are the Pre Public Exams important? PPE are vital for practice ; just as actors need a stage rehearsal before the real performance, so you need practice under the conditions that you’re going to experience next summer. PPE test your knowledge and let you and your teachers know which topics are your strongest and your weakest. Revision based on giving more time to your weakest areas It will help you in the real exams . Your GCSE exams might seem a long way away, but if you revise thoroughly now, you will be amazed at how quickly and easily you will remember things when you revise a second time. For subjects that are tiered, this will act as a ‘test run’ – you will not be able to enter for the Higher Tier in the summer unless you prove you can perform well in the PPE.
PPE Preparation: you need to be able to answer all these questions for every subject you are taking – test yourself and a partner. How many exam papers will you get for each subject? How long will each paper last? Do you have to do all of the questions, or is there a choice? Do you know which topics you could be tested on in each subject? How many minutes do you get per mark? Have you seen examples of the type of questions you will get? Do the questions require short answers, or longer paragraphs? Have you seen a copy of the syllabus for each subject you are taking? Is your exam split between higher and foundation, and which are you doing?
