Exam stress

It has been said that the key to a successful review, to avoid exam stress, a good plan, and to some degree that’s right. These eyes should be in determining contribution of mathematics:

  • Select the appropriate learning area
  • Try a quiet place to work, where to find focus without interruption. Good lighting and comfortable chairs are also important.
  • Do you have everything at hand

There is no point meeting for review only on half the time you intend to hunt around the house to do things that you suddenly realize that you need to spend study. Gather your only files, books, calculator, ruler, protractor, compasses, pencils, pencil sharpener, erasers, paper, tracing, graph paper, etc. and in a sense that it is easy to find each time you come to check.

  • Plan your time wisely

No one can concentrate for hours, to be realistic about how long you stay and take regular breaks. You can check on other topics also, so make sure you allocate time for each.

  • Use the Psychology Award

Yes, you have a big goal of a good GCSE Maths Revision, but a small price to motivate the design review you – all can choose from a cup of coffee and chocolate biscuits in up to five minutes to help ensure that your will (be sure you keep your time block!)

  • Do not forget to eat!

You get better and remember more if you eat and drink wisely

Do Check it!

And finally … .. down there!

  • Do not spend too much time to plan – all you really need is a plan of study that commitment regardless of other accounts and share your time with a realistic list of topics you for a (possible topics You go find most challenging in the course, or you find most difficult in your last two teachers selected assignments) and some papers past. You do not need a fancy layout and will be marked closely.

A Level Maths

A Level Maths has come under the scrutiny of the new government recently who believe that reforms were needed to ensure that students were tested to higher standards than apparent in the current modular format. At present students sit A Level Maths in two parts. These are known as the AS and A2 Levels where students take up to 4-5 modules or examinations at the lower AS level in the first year, and 3 modules at the higher A2 level in the second year. However, the government suggestions for changes invited a lot of criticism with the Advisory Committee suggesting to Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, that any such changes could see a collapse in the number of students taking up A Level Maths as witnessed after the changes brought in in the year 2000 who already needed considerable help with their revision programs. Then student numbers fell by 19% due to the changes initiated.

The advisory committee chairperson, Professor Dame Julia Higgins, stated that it took over six years after the further changes in 2004, and that repeating such an changes seriously risked similar outcomes. She further added that given almost all university courses were modular, there was no reason to change the modular format of the A Level courses and further this particular format made made it easier for more students to take up the subject. The government reason for change seemed to be to raise the bar so that the top high fliers could distinguish themselves clearly whereas with the present examination system it was difficult for universities to distinguish between the crema a la creme and the those who also got a grade A.

Professor Higgins however suggested that STEP Papers or Advanced Extension Award catered for this need and there was no need to bring about any changes. Cambridge University waded into the debate also indicating that changes were not needed and that AS Level exams were a good indicator or student progress in A Level Maths.

As yet we await the results of this debate….

Are maths exams easier?

Grades in maths exams have been going up for the last several years suggesting that either students are getting smarter or exams getting easier. Are today’s children showing exam stress because of brilliance or incompetence?

Indeed it’s been suggested that today’s A Level students would struggle to cope with the O Level exam papers of yesteryear. A report by the think tank Reform analysed maths exam papers taken by sixteen year old girls and boys from 1951 to 2006. Their results showed that standards in maths exams for this age group had gone down hill significantly. They stated that exams in England had become much easier and failed to make any serious demands on the mathematical abilities of any student. Today, indeed we see 10 years olds taking A Levels and scoring Grade A! Would that have been possible in the past? I am not sure…

So who is right? Are maths exams getting easier?
